AppIntro

AppIntro is an Android Library that helps you make a cool intro for your app, like the ones in Google apps.

Watch YouTube video here.

##How to use Add this to your build.gradle:

repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile'com.github.paolorotolo:appintro:3.2.0'
}

Create a new Activity that extends AppIntro:

publicclassMyIntroextendsAppIntro {
// Please DO NOT override onCreate. Use init@Overridepublicvoidinit(BundlesavedInstanceState) {
// Add your slide's fragments here// AppIntro will automatically generate the dots indicator and buttons.addSlide(first_fragment);
addSlide(second_fragment);
addSlide(third_fragment);
addSlide(fourth_fragment);
// Instead of fragments, you can also use our default slide// Just set a title, description, background and image. AppIntro will do the restaddSlide(AppIntroFragment.newInstance(title, description, image, background_colour));
// OPTIONAL METHODS// Override bar/separator colorsetBarColor(Color.parseColor("#3F51B5"));
setSeparatorColor(Color.parseColor("#2196F3"));
// Hide Skip/Done buttonshowSkipButton(false);
showDoneButton(false);
// Turn vibration on and set intensity// NOTE: you will probably need to ask VIBRATE permesssion in ManifestsetVibrate(true);
setVibrateIntensity(30);
}
@OverridepublicvoidonSkipPressed() {
// Do something when users tap on Skip button.
}
@OverridepublicvoidonDonePressed() {
// Do something when users tap on Done button.
}
}

Please, DO NOT override onCreate. Just use init instead

Layout 2

If you want to try new layout (as seen in Google's Photo app), just extend AppIntro2 in your Activity. That's all :)

publicclassMyIntroextendsAppIntro2 {
[...]
}



### Easy implementation of Slide Fragments As you can see, things have changed in AppIntro 3.0.0. Now it's so easy to add new slides to AppIntro.

For example: * Copy the class **SampleSlide** from my [example project](https://github.com/PaoloRotolo/AppIntro/blob/master/example/src/main/java/com/github/paolorotolo/appintroexample/SampleSlide.java). * Add a new slide with ```addSlide(SampleSlide.newInstance(R.layout.your_slide_here));```

There's no need to create one class for fragment anymore. :)

I've never used fragments...

No problem, just use this method and AppIntro will generate a new slide for you.

addSlide(AppIntroFragment.newInstance(title, description, image, background_colour));

Animations

AppIntro comes with some pager animations. Choose the one you like and then active it with:

// Put this method in init()setFadeAnimation();

Available animations:

setFadeAnimation()
setZoomAnimation()
setFlowAnimation()
setSlideOverAnimation()
setDepthAnimation()

If you want to create nice parallax effect or your own custom animation, create your own PageTransformer and call:

// Put this method in init()setCustomTransformer(transformer);

Android M ready

Android M introduced some exiting updates about permissions.
Let's say your Slide A talks about using location. As you go to Slide B, the app can actually requests location permission.

How can you do it? Like this:

onDotSelected(index) {
if (index == 1) {
// Code to ask permission here
}
}

Example

See example code here on Github. You can also see it live downloading this app from Google Play.

Real life examples

Do you need inspiration? A lot of apps are using AppIntro out there:

Planets
