How-To-Use

Step 1: Your Activity must extend IntroActivity and be in your AndroidManifest.java:

public class MainIntroActivity extends IntroActivity{
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    }
}

<manifest ...>
    <application ...>
        <activity android:name=".MainIntroActivity"
            android:theme="@style/Theme.Intro"/>
    </application>
</manifest>

Step 2: Add Slides:

public class MainIntroActivity extends IntroActivity{
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        
        /**
         * Standard slide (like Google's intros)
         */
        addSlide(new SimpleSlide.Builder()
                .title(R.string.title_1)
                .description(R.string.description_1)
                .image(R.drawable.image_1)
                .background(R.color.background_1)
                .backgroundDark(R.color.background_dark_1)
                .permission(Manifest.permission.CAMERA)
                .build());
        
        /**
         * Custom fragment slide
         */ 
        addSlide(new FragmentSlide.Builder()
                .background(R.color.background_2)
                .backgroundDark(R.color.background_dark_2)
                .fragment(R.layout.fragment_2, R.style.FragmentTheme)
                .build());
    }
}

Slide types:

• SimpleSlide: Standard slide featuring a title, short description and image like Google's intros.
• FragmentSlide: Custom slide containing a Fragment or a layout resource.
• Slide: Base slide. If you want to modify what's shown in your slide this is the way to go.
• Feel free to submit an issue or pull request if you think any slide types are missing

Step 3: Enable features:

public class MainIntroActivity extends IntroActivity{
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
    
        /* Enable/disable fullscreen */
        setFullscreen(true);
        
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    
        /* Enable/disable skip button */
        setSkipEnabled(true);
    
        /* Enable/disable finish button */
        setFinishEnabled(true);

        /* Add a navigation policy to define when users can go forward/backward */
        setNavigationPolicy(new NavigationPolicy() {
            @Override
            public boolean canGoForward(int position) {
                return true;
            }

            @Override
            public boolean canGoBackward(int position) {
                return false;
            }
        });

        /* Add a listener to detect ehen users try to go to a page they can't go to */
        addOnNavigationBlockedListener(new OnNavigationBlockedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onNavigationBlocked(int position, int direction) {
            }
        });
        
        /* Add your own page change listeners */
        addOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener(){
            @Override
            public void onPageScrolled(int position, float positionOffset, int positionOffsetPixels) {
            }
            @Override
            public void onPageSelected(int position) {
            }
            @Override
            public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int state) {
            }
        });
    }
}

###Pro Tip: Parallax slides

You can easily acheive a nice looking parallax effect for any slide by using either ParallaxFrameLayout.java, ParallaxLinearLayout.java or ParallaxRelativeLayout.java and defining layout_parallaxFactor for its childrens.
A higher factor means a stronger parallax effect, 0 means no parallax effect at all.

<com.heinrichreimersoftware.materialintro.view.parallax.ParallaxLinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    ... >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_parallaxFactor="0"
        ... />

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_parallaxFactor="1.25"
        ... />

</com.heinrichreimersoftware.materialintro.view.parallax.ParallaxLinearLayout>

###Pro Tip: Splash screens
