This articles shows you how to create an online interactive demo of your Android app in just a couple of minutes, for free. Your demo will be interactive, guided, online, easy to embed in your website or blog, and will run in the browser or on an Android device. So, the perfect tool to promote your app!
STEPS
1
MAKE UP YOUR MIND ABOUT THE SCENARIO YOU WANT TO DEMO. One of the best selling scenario is showing your potential users how your app solves one of their problems. 2
TAKE SCREENSHOTS OF THIS SCENARIO, SCREEN BY SCREEN. The easiest way to take screenshots of your Android app is directly from the Android Emulator. However, you can take screenshots also from your phone, but the method will work only on some phones. If you have a Samsung Galaxy, you can capture a screen by pressing and holding the Back button and then pressing the Home button. Your screenshots will then appear in the Gallery, in a separate folder called ScreenCapture. When done, send the screenshots to your PC. 3

The frame will be visible when the demo is viewed on a computer and not visible when viewed on a smartphone or tablet. 5
UPLOAD THE SCREENSHOTS TO YOUR DEMO. You do this by clicking the button "Upload Screenshots" and selecting the files from your disk (multiple file upload is possible). 6
ADD INTERACTION (CLICKABLE HOTSPOTS), ANIMATIONS (SLIDE, FADE, LOADING EFFECTS, SCROLLABLE AREAS) AND ANNOTATIONS ON TOP OF YOUR SCREENS. When clicked, a hotspot directs the user to the next screen or any other screen of your demo. 7
