-2

private static final String PREFS_NAME = "prefs";
private static final String IS_FIRST_LAUNCH = "is_first";

SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, 0);
        boolean isFirst = settings.getBoolean(IS_FIRST_LAUNCH, true);
        if (isFirst){
            settings.edit().putBoolean(IS_FIRST_LAUNCH, false).commit();
            showTips();
        }

at showTips() show dialog/activity/fragment as you want.

I wasn't asking this. Do read the question again and the answers other people provided – Rahul Gupta Jan 20 '14 at 12:52
@RahulGupta I did read/looked at your question and I don't understand why this can't be an answer on your question, hence I don't understand the downvotes. The other answers are recommending a library which I didn't read clearly from your question. If you were not interested in a code sample you should have stated that explictely. I find your question unclear. – rene Apr 01 '14 at 20:31
@rene "I don't understand why this can't be an answer on your question, hence I don't understand the downvotes" - This is plain wrong answer, OP clearly shared screenshot what type of view he wants to add in his app and question seems clear to me ! – Ajay S Apr 01 '14 at 20:35
