    */
    fun configure(): TutorialBuilder

    /*

     of your Fragment or Activity.
    */
    fun onSaveInstanceState(outState: Bundle)

    /* 
     Restore state of tutorial. 
     You must call it in onRestoreInstanceState() of 
     your Fragment or Activity.
    */
    fun onRestoreInstanceState(savedState: Bundle?)

TutorialState

TutorialState is an interface, that describes UI item to explain. There are a few data classes, that implement this interface:

  • ViewState - describes the View to highlight.
  • MenuState - describes the menu item to highlight.
  • RecyclerItemState - describes the RecyclerView item to highlight.
  • PathState - describes the geometric figure to highlight. By using this state you can highlight a part of view or a part of visible screen area.

TutorialBuilder

To create an instance of BlurTutorial you have to use TutorialBuilder.

Builder method name parameter description is required
withParent Root of your layout. Will be blurred or dimmed. yes
withPopupLayout Layout of popup window. yes
withPopupAppearAnimation Popup appear animation resource no
withPopupDisappearAnimation Popup disappear animation resource no
withPopupAppearAnimator Popup appear animator resource no
withPopupDisappearAnimator Popup disappear animator resource no
withPopupXOffset X offset of popup window no
withPopupYOffset Y offset of popup window no
withPopupCornerRadius Radius of popup corners no
withBlurRadius Radius of blur. Must be in a range (0.0; 25.0]. By default, it's 10.0 no
withOverlayColor Color of overlay, that will be displayed above blurred or dimmed background. no
withHighlightType Type of highlight: Blur or Dim. By default, it's Blur. no
withListener Listener of tutorial process yes

TutorialListener

Also you have to set listener of tutorial process:

interface TutorialListener {

    /*
     Called before state is entered.
     Use it to prepare UI for view highlighting.
     E.g. smoothly scroll to this view.
    */
    override fun onStateEnter(state: TutorialState)

    // Called after state exit.
    override fun onStateExit(state: TutorialState)

    // Called on state error. E.g. highlighted view is not visible, etc.
    override fun onStateError(state: TutorialState, error: StateException)

    /* 
     Called when popup view is inflated.
     Use this method to populate your popup view.
    */
    override fun onPopupViewInflated(state: TutorialState, popupView: View)

    // Called when tutorial process is finished.
    override fun onFinish()
}

Fragment/Activity usage

companion object {
    private const val VIEW_ID = 0
    private const val MENU_ITEM_ID = 1
    private const val RECYCLER_ITEM_ID = 2
    private const val PATH_ID = 3
    
    private const val RECYCLER_ITEM_INDEX = 10
    ...
}
...

private val path = Path().apply {
        addCircle(500F, 500F, 300F, Path.Direction.CCW) 
}

private val states by lazy {
        listOf(ViewState(VIEW_ID, tvHighlight),
               MenuState(MENU_ITEM_ID, tbMenuOwner, R.id.menu_item),
               RecyclerItemState(RECYCLER_ITEM_ID, rvOwner, RECYCLER_ITEM_INDEX),
               PathState(PATH_ID, path)
}

private var tutorial: BlurTutorial? = null

private val tutorialListener = object : SimpleTutorialListener() {

        override fun onPopupViewInflated(state: TutorialState, popupView: View) {
            popupView.run {
                val tvTitle = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.tvTitle)
                
                tvTitle.textResource = when (state.id) {
                    VIEW_ID -> R.string.view_title
                    MENU_ITEM_ID -> R.string.menu_title
                    RECYCLER_ITEM_ID -> R.string.recycler_title
                    PATH_ID -> R.string.path_state
                }
                setOnClickListener { tutorial?.next() }
            }
        }
    }
    
    override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        initTutorial()
    }
    
    override fun onResume() {
        super.onResume()
        tutorial?.start()
    }
    
    override fun onSaveInstanceState(outState: Bundle) {
        super.onSaveInstanceState(outState)
        tutorial?.onSaveInstanceState(outState)
    }

    override fun onViewStateRestored(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onViewStateRestored(savedInstanceState)
        tutorial?.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState)
    }

    override fun onDestroy() {
        tutorial?.onDestroy()
        super.onDestroy()
    }
    
    private fun initTutorial() {
        tutorial = TutorialBuilder()
                .withParent(clParent)
                .withListener(tutorialListener)
                .withPopupLayout(R.layout.popup_window)
                .withPopupCornerRadius(POPUP_RADIUS)
                .withBlurRadius(BLUR_RADIUS)
                .build().apply { addAllStates(states) }
    }

Proguard

Also depending on your Proguard config, you have to setup your proguard-rules.pro file:

-keepclassmembers class androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar { *; }

-keep class com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
-keepclassmembers class com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView { *; }

-keep class com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationItemView
-keepclassmembers class com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationItemView { *; }

-keep class androidx.appcompat.view.menu.MenuItemImpl
-keepclassmembers class androidx.appcompat.view.menu.MenuItemImpl { *; }

-keep class com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView
-keepclassmembers class com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView { *; }

-keep class com.google.android.material.internal.NavigationMenuPresenter** { *; }
-keepclassmembers class com.google.android.material.internal.NavigationMenuPresenter { *; }

-keep class com.google.android.material.bottomappbar.BottomAppBar
-keepclassmembers class com.google.android.material.bottomappbar.BottomAppBar { *; }
