Android best practices for implementing a user guide

I want to implement a user guide in my app. But its not clear to me, what would be the best solution to do that. My idea for user guide based on a html faq, where user guide is a separate activity that has a table of contents at the top followed by the actual guide. The each item from table of contents is a link to a specific anchor in user guide. And the acitivty would have a back-to-top button. My question is, how should i implement all those features? Should i work with typical View subclasses or should i try to implement a html document with a webview (I've never worked with web-related API's so i dont know if it possible to implement an offlane html document)

Edit: lesson learned. From now on i publish questions only about specific coding problems.

P.s. maybe anyone can suggest a site where you can discuss more general questions and suggestions?

suggest you to create menu_exit_help contains:on MainActivity(BaseActivity).Allow that one to appear on all the screen.

@Override
        public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
            MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
            inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_exit_help, menu);      
            return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
        }


    @Override
        public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {


            if (item.getItemId() == R.id.menuActionHelp) {
                Helper.walletGuidelines(this);
            }

            return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
        }

menu_exit_help contains: 

    <item
        android:id="@+id/menuActionHelp"
        android:icon="?action_base_help"
        android:title="@string/action_help"
        yourapp:showAsAction="ifRoom"/>

Helper.walletGuidelines(this) is a seperate class . which helps to intearct with the serverURL for downloading the guide lines.
