I've been thinking about ways to integrate help into an app. 

I wanted to see what other people have done.

Context sensitive, at a minimum, per screen, and possibly point to certain 
buttons using a PopupWindow to point out something like "This button will . 
. . ".

What have you done and how well has it worked? I could imagine there are 
some frameworks or open source project already. 

I've thought about using the following technologies.

   - A bunch of formatted strings with basic tags in string tags. 
   - A webview in a non full screen activity, displaying one or many simply 
   html files from the res folder (this can't be in assets - in needs to be 
   localized).  
   - A popupwindow, using showasDropDown, to anchor it to another view or 
   button that I want the help to be related to.
