Is there any standard way to achieve this?

Answer 1

You can do the whole stuff manually. Or use a prebuilt library called ShowcaseView.

You'll find details, code and guide here http://www.xda-developers.com/android/create-holo-themed-demo-overlays-with-showcaseview/

Answer 2

Here is my suggestion

1. Get the semi-transparent images of manual pages. Keep the Images in your res/drawable .
2. Use sharedpreference to maintain the status whether this manual is shown to user on startup or not (Depending on your requirement). Check the status when the app is launched, to decide whether to show this to user or bypass it.
3. Use a fragment or Activity to display this manual images in sequence one after another. for this you can use viewpager , swipe animation or simple buttons.

只需使用一个图库视图并在其上跳过按钮。在第一次安装时显示该图库。为此您可以在sharedpreference中设置标记值。还显示左抽屉中的虚拟游览按钮，
