I've been hearing a lot about Espiandev ShowcaseView as a good tutorial tool for Android apps, but unfortunately I couldn't find any examples of its implementation but the sample provided with the library. No matter what I tried, I could not get that sample to compile. I've installed the library and its dependencies on my Eclipse IDE as instructed here and it looks like it was installed fine. Eclipse tells me to import R (android) on both java files (SampleActivity and ActionItemsSampleActivity) and none of the usual tricks work (like cleaning the project, for example). Also, it doesn't know what StrictMode is. The Styles.xml also gives out compilation errors such as No resource found that matches the name: attr 'text' and also for showcaseButtonStyle. I am also using ActionBarSherlock in my workspace.

Please, can someone provide a working example or point me to a step-by-step tutorial (or YouTube)?

  • Having taken a look at this, I think there is an issue where IntelliJ (which I use) accepts things which Eclipse doesn't. I'm taking a look at it now and will report back! – Alex Curran May 02 '13 at 19:46

    Can you try using the latest on Github? You will probably need to add the library as a dependency to the sample project. – Alex Curran May 02 '13 at 21:20
  • I got the latest and got the sample to work. Thanks! Can you provide a sample that would work with a SherlockFragment? It doesn't work for my SherlockFragment where I have a GridView with many ImageView objects (The exception it throws is that `sv` is `null` after `insertShowcaseView`). I tried replacing parameters, casting, and finally modifying your library but nothing worked. – Naphtali Gilead May 03 '13 at 07:36
  • sure; please open an issue on the Github project detailing the error (including some code to replicate it) and I'll take a look – Alex Curran May 04 '13 at 12:01
  • Thank you very much for taking a look. https://github.com/Espiandev/ShowcaseView/issues/39 – Naphtali Gilead May 04 '13 at 20:59
