Help-Tours throught NewPipe

[TobiGr]

As already mentioned in #857 I'd like to see a kind of beginner/"Newbie" tour so new users learn some basics things about NewPipe and we can easily make announcements / introduce new features.
I have two tours in mind which could be accessible via the settings and the should automatically start at the first launch of the app / detaills page.

First launch intro

1. We should welcome our new users.	2. Spread the idea of NewPipe and tell / show the people how it basically works. (In the middle there should be easy animations with: 0. Trendings, 1. Search, 2. Video detail page, 3. Video launch )
3. Show our three awesome players (animations here and everywhere else too)	4. Promote download feature
5. What's new in version x	6. Explore NewPipe and other tours

Playlist & Players

Since there are many improvements in queue I didn't think about this too much, but my plan was to

1. Give a detailed introduction into all three players, resolution
2. Explain Playlists and longpress behaviour.

Please tell me what you think about that (especially the first one) so I can start implementing it soon.

I think popup tooltips should be useful to (in addition to tour). Many users skips help-tours in apps because they already familiar with basics. But with it they skipping some hidden features.

Also, tooltips (which appears when activity shown) should be more useful for "Hold to Append" tip and other similar cases. (Now it has tooltip that appears when pressing button and quicky disapears after releasing, so some users may cannot read it)

(I mean tooltips like that: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2083052/32987809-511d3dc4-cd06-11e7-848a-d53e008f02c1.png)

For the 'tour', will we just use https://github.com/apl-devs/AppIntro? (Off-topic: how did you make those 'screenshots'?)

I also have to agree with @dcoder-mm.

Yes tooltips sound also good.

For the 'tour', will we just use https://github.com/apl-devs/AppIntro? (Off-topic: how did you make those 'screenshots'?)

@wb9688 Yes I used AppIntro. With implementing I meant stuff like animations, category in the settings, and a working "what's new" dialog. Adding a library and some strings isn't real programming :)

I don't really see the need for a tour. Newpipe is not a complex app. There's very few windows in the app and the advanced features are either obvious or labeled with text.
