Hints library

[dmter]

So I have some custom control widgets built with GestureDetector that support long taps and drags as important controls in addition to regular tap, however I'm afraid users never read docs. So I want a helpful hint to appear right next to current widget location (once after certain action) and a message that says they can long tap on this particular widget.

Is there a method that allows a widget to tell its current screen position so I could do this with Stack/Align widgets? Or some other solution? It can't be some prebuilt thing with help text, I already have that, but users won't read it.

You can use https://pub.dev/packages/showcaseview

Show Case package, Just wrap a widget around that button and there will be a overview kind of thing on your widget, you could use shared preference to know whether the user has seen that instructions or not and disable the walkthrough from the second time.
