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.

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