Usage

  • You don't need anything special in your layout XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:text="Click Me!" />
</FrameLayout>
  • Then in your Java code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        findViewById(R.id.button).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                ToolTip toolTip = new ToolTip.Builder()
                    .withText("Simple Tool Tip!")
                    .build();
                ToolTipView toolTipView = new ToolTipView.Builder(this)
                    .withAnchor(v)
                    .withToolTip(toolTip)
                    .withGravity(Gravity.BOTTOM)
                    .build();
                toolTipView.show();
            }
        });
    }
}
  • To customize your ToolTipView, check the ToolTip.Builder class for more details.
