Spotlight is an Android library for onboarding users by highlighting and showcasing specific UI features with an animated overlay. It provides a builder API to target views, customize overlay colors, text, and animations, and is explicitly no longer maintained.
Use cases
- show new users how to use a feature in my android app
- add a spotlight overlay highlighting a button on first launch
- create an onboarding tour that points at specific views
- display a tooltip with heading and subheading over a target view
- show a one-time coach mark with a unique usage id
- highlight UI elements with a dark mask overlay animation
When to choose
- you need a quick, simple spotlight/coach-mark overlay on an older Android app
- you want a builder-style API with customizable overlay colors, text, and reveal animations
- your project targets old Android API levels (11+) and legacy Java codebases
When to avoid
- you are starting a new project, since the library is explicitly unmaintained
- you need ongoing updates, bug fixes, or compatibility with the latest Android versions
- you need advanced onboarding flows like multi-step tours or Jetpack Compose support
