You can use ViewPagerIndicator here: http://viewpagerindicator.com/#download. Then, you should define SharedPreferences, to show that ViewPager only once. You can write:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    public static final String MyPrefs = "MyPrefs";
    ...

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        SharedPreferences sp = getSharedPreferences(MyPrefs, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        if (!sp.getBoolean("first", false)) {
            SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sp.edit();
            editor.putBoolean("first", true);
            editor.commit();
            Intent intent = new Intent(this, SampleCirclesDefault.class); //call your ViewPager class
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    }
}
