Answer 1

You are supposed to create simple custom alertdialog with the custom layout as show HERE

Answer 2

Answer 3

The second one is quiet easier then the previous one and its nothing but an AlertDialog and you may keep track of it by persisting its state via shared-preferences or Sqlite Db.

And for the previous case without googling for an opensource project I would recommend you to create your own RelativeLayout and place some imageViews at the respective positions and for persisting the states go by the above mentioned methodology.

Answer 4

use one transparent layout and maintain your help text on it, using images to draw the layout. check this link it gives some idea for that help layout.
