JarCastingSuperToolTips (no longer discontinued!)
*This project was forked from https://github.com/ryanjohn1/onboarding, which was forked from https://github.com/nhaarman/supertooltips
SuperToolTips is an Open Source Android library that allows developers to easily create Tool Tips for views. Feel free to use it all you want in your Android apps provided that you cite this project and include the license in your app.
Changes/Delta from the original forks
- No layouts changes are necessary
- Significant reduction in boilerplate code
- Simpler and easier to use
- Fix for adding tooltips on list view items
- Most APIs remain the same so migration should be straight forward
- Fix for memory leaks
- Multiple tool tip click listeners
- MinSdkVersion is 8
Setup
Note: SuperToolTips now uses the gradle build structure. If you want to use this project in Eclipse, you should make the necessary changes.
Add the following to your build.gradle:
Last version
Published 11/18/2017, v4.0.2
dependencies {
compile 'com.github.spyhunter99:super-tooltip-aar:4.0.2'
}
Usage
In your activity, add this
import com.spyhunter99.supertooltips.ToolTipManager;
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
ToolTipManager tooltips;
public void onCreate(Bundle saved) {
super.onCreate(saved);
//setContentView(...);
tooltips = new ToolTipManager(this);
//your stuff goes here....
}
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
tooltips.onDestroy();
tooltips = null;
}
//....
}
Then if you had a button somewhere in your layout that you wanted a tooltip on long press...
//in onCreate
findViewById(R.id.listview_activity).setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
@Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
ToolTip toolTip = new ToolTip()
.withText("A demo for tooltips on list view items")
.withColor(Color.RED) //or whatever you want
.withAnimationType(ToolTip.AnimationType.FROM_MASTER_VIEW)
.withShadow();
tooltips.showToolTip(toolTip, v);
return true;
}
});
ToolTip customization
You can customize the ToolTip in several ways:
- Specify a content text using
ToolTip.setText(). - Set a color using
ToolTip.setColor(). - Specify whether to show a shadow or not with
ToolTip.setShadow(). - Specify how to animate the ToolTip: from the view itself or from the top, using
ToolTip.setAnimationType(). - Set your own custom content View using
ToolTip.setContentView().
See the examples.
