How to create help buttons in Android?

Question

I currently have a homescreen with three buttons. I would like to add a small button on the side of each button that when clicked would pop up a some sort of pop-up, that would explain the functionality of each button. Is there a built-in function for this? Or is this more like a tool-tip? Thank you

You could simply use `ImageButton` in the side of each button — BOUTERBIAT Oualid, Jun 28 '16 at 13:54

You can use Android AlertDialog Box. Android provides default alert box and you can also make you own custom alert box. Just put dialog box in your help button onClick event.
