Screen Shots:

 In this project we used some images those are stored in assets folder. Those images you can get from the project below.

How to develop this project:

First we need to create menu folder under res folder and create new xml file called main_menu.xml as follows and include following code.

main_menu.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:support="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
    <item
        android:id="@+id/menu_share"
        android:title="@string/menu_share"
        support:actionProviderClass="android.support.v7.widget.ShareActionProvider"
        support:showAsAction="always" />

</menu>

next you need to include values(strings,colors,dimens,styles..etc,..) from above downloadable project to your project .

next under layout folder create following xml files and include following code in those xml files as follows.

activity_main.xml:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <LinearLayout
        style="@style/Widget.SampleMessageTile"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <TextView
            style="@style/Widget.SampleMessage"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/horizontal_page_margin"
            android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/horizontal_page_margin"
            android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/vertical_page_margin"
            android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/vertical_page_margin"
            android:text="@string/intro_message" />
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
 

item_image.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ImageView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:scaleType="fitCenter" />
 

item_text.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:padding="16dp"
    android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceLarge"
    android:lineSpacingMultiplier="1.1"
    android:gravity="center" />
 

sample_main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/viewpager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1" />

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/intro_message"
        android:padding="16dp"
        android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceMedium"
        android:lineSpacingMultiplier="1.1"
        android:background="#fb3" />

</LinearLayout>
