Android "Tooltip"

Question

YouTube’s current Android app contains helpful tips for navigating the user interface. For example: the first time you switch between tabs during video playback, a small “tip” appears with an arrow and says: “You can also switch between tabs by scrolling left and right.” Or something like that. Is there a way to mimic the look and functionality of this tooltip?

Answer 1

The best way I could think of is to do something in the settings file, and when the user fires a specific event (clicking on a tab in Youtube, rather than scrolling) it triggers a user view or even a Toast message. Then, after starting the tooltip, set the specific tag in the settings file as called.
