Android Question App help

[marcel]

In some applications you have a kind of help how to use the app. Mostly this is displayed when you start a new release for thi firstime.

How is this called and is there some module for this?

I don't know if it's the best way but I'd use the Key Value Store module to write a value when the tutorial is finished. It's a great way to store saved game data locally.

Sorry, This is not what I ment. I mean a GUI that guides the user through the APP.

I once implemented something like it...
As GUI is concerned, anything goes, being it sliding panels or plain scrollview...
At first run I search for a setting file and read two key values: install date and version and compare it witha version variable hardcoded.. If different check date of release and compare with date of install. This is to know if instal is newer or older than previous installed version. Then I show my "what's new" or my "you are using an outdated version" GUI and refresh the file values as necessary.

I maybe revisiting my (very) old module of this...
