Code Examples

// Create a new MaterialTapTargetPrompt
val prompt = MaterialTapTargetPrompt.Builder(this)
    .setTarget(findViewById(R.id.my_button))
    .setPrimaryText("Tap this button")
    .setSecondaryText("This will perform an important action")
    .setIcon(R.drawable.ic_my_icon)
    .create()

// Show the prompt
prompt.show()

This code creates a new MaterialTapTargetPrompt and configures it with a target view, primary and secondary text, and an icon. The prompt is then shown to the user.

// Customize the prompt's appearance
val prompt = MaterialTapTargetPrompt.Builder(this)
    .setTarget(findViewById(R.id.my_button))
    .setPrimaryText("Tap this button")
    .setSecondaryText("This will perform an important action")
    .setIcon(R.drawable.ic_my_icon)
    .setBackgroundColour(Color.BLUE)
    .setFocalColour(Color.GREEN)
    .create()

This code demonstrates how to customize the appearance of the MaterialTapTargetPrompt by setting the background and focal colors.

// Handle prompt events
val prompt = MaterialTapTargetPrompt.Builder(this)
    .setTarget(findViewById(R.id.my_button))
    .setPrimaryText("Tap this button")
    .setSecondaryText("This will perform an important action")
    .setIcon(R.drawable.ic_my_icon)
    .setOnHidePromptListener { reason ->
        // Handle prompt dismissal
    }
    .create()

prompt.show()

This code shows how to handle events related to the MaterialTapTargetPrompt, such as when the prompt is dismissed.
