[FIXED] Display balloon tip in Android activity

Issue

I'm curious to implement a balloon tip to show info of different UI elements in an activity. How can I achieve this? On some little effort put to this (correct me if I'm wrong please) using something like canvas rectF???

Solution

It sounds like you're looking to create tooltip text. This isn't built-in to the View classes in android, so you'll have to create them or use a library like GreenDroid. This has already been addressed, see the following:
