Tooltip not rendering

[simplenotezy]

Hey - thanks for a great initiative.

I tried switching from "simple_tooltip" to your library, but I am having troubles rendering the tooltip to screen:

    return ElTooltip(
      child: widget.child,
      showModal: true,
      color: AppTheme.of(context).primary,
      content: GestureDetector(
        onTap: onDismiss,
        child: Body2(
          widget.tooltipText,
          color: Colors.white,
          settings: TextSettings(overflow: TextOverflow.clip),
        ),
      ),
    );

Not really sure what's going on.

The diff:

+import 'package:el_tooltip/el_tooltip.dart';
 import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
-import 'package:simple_tooltip/simple_tooltip.dart';

Thanks for trying el_tooltip @simplenotezy

Were you able to make it work?

The simplest integration would be to just specify the child (normally the icon that trigger the tooltip) and the content (what appears inside the tooltip):

ElTooltip( content: Text('Hola Mundo!'), child: Icon(Icons.info), )

The library manages the tap, so you only need to insert the Widget you want to see. Try to start with a simple widget and add more things until it breaks. If it does, let me know.

If it manages the tab, how do I specify the callback function? I'd like to do some custom logic on dismissal

[simplenotezy]

And no, didn't get it to work since posting the issue. Reverted back to old library (for now)

[marcelogil]

In that case we might need to trigger a callback function when the method void _hideOverlay() is triggered. Right now it's not available. Will let you know when I add it.

Thanks for the suggestion. :-)

Sounds good! 💪
