ShowcaseView is an Android library that highlights specific parts of an app's UI with an attractive overlay to guide users to features, gestures, or points of interest. It supports Holo, new-style, and Material themes and is used via a simple Builder API.
Use cases
- show a first-time user tour of app features
- highlight a button or menu action to users
- point out gestures in an onboarding flow
- create an overlay spotlight on part of the UI
- add feature discovery tips to an Android app
When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Android app already using it (API 11+)
- you need a simple, proven overlay-highlight library for an older Android project
When to avoid
- starting a new Android project - the repo is archived and unmaintained
- you need Material You or modern AndroidX-compatible onboarding
- you need queued multi-step tutorials (that feature was removed in v5)
