Tooltip not shown on Android

[ajimenezdev]

I have a react-native app working on Android and IOS.
I've included the react-native-tooltip library.

It is working perfectly on iOs but on Android the tooltip it is not displayed.
I've been digging around the library and it reaches the line with tooltip.show(); without throwing any errors. But the tooltip it is just simply not displayed.
This is the code for the tooltip.
<RNTooltips text={'Help message'} visible={this.state.tooltipVisible} reference={this.tooltipRef} tintColor='#222222' textColor='#FFFFFF' shadow={false} corner={5} arrow={false} autoHide={true} duration={2} clickToHide={true} position={1} align={1} gravity={4} />

Any idea why this is happening?

@AJM88 Yes we are aware of this issue for Android. We are currently working on a fix #14

For now you can probably try the solution suggested by @prscX and use the collapsable property on the view you want the tooltip to appear on.

See the documentation from react-native

collapsable not helps.
"react": "16.6.3", "react-native": "0.58.0", "react-native-tooltips": "^0.0.10"

Yeah this problem is hard to fix.
From what I recall, there is an issue with the ref generated on the javascript side and the component-id when it lands on the native side on Android.

We were discussing this issue today at my company. I wish I was more knowledgable about Android.
I think this issue would be easy to fix for an Android engineer with React Native knowledge.

This is a really great library, but it would be better if it worked on Android as well!

I've investigated into the issue as well, but to no prevail.

@prscX @StevenMasini @Dmitrylolo I created a PR that fixes this issue. #29
