Any easy way to accept touches (outside of the tooltip view) to dismiss the tooltip?

Hi there,

This library really look great. But not sure if it is possible for to use for Obj-C project?

Cause I've tried to "pod install" it to my Obj-C project, and realized that inside EasyTipView.h only have 2 methods and not able for us to set text for it.

Hoping you can spend some minutes to help on this, appreciate it much.

After upgrading to Swift 2.2 with Xcode 7.3, I've run into this build error

…/Pods/EasyTipView/Source/EasyTipView.swift:189:20: Use of unresolved identifier '_stdlib_getDemangledTypeName'

Any hints to fix it would be much appreciated.

What you think about this:

class func hideAllInSuperView(sview: UIView) {
    for subview in sview.subviews {
        if subview is EasyTipView {
            let sub = subview as! EasyTipView      

            UIView.animateWithDuration(0.2, animations: { () -> Void in
                sub.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(0.3, 0.3)
                sub.alpha = 0
                }) { (finished) -> Void in
                    sub.removeFromSuperview()
            }
        }
    }
}

For some reason, the EasyTipView will not show Chinese characters in my code. It works for Japanese characters but not Chinese wording ... any thought on this?
EasyTipView(text: "觀看更多內容", preferences: preferences, delegate: self)

After updating the code to swift3 so it would run in my project, I'm having a strange issue where it doesn't draw the final addArc rounded corner. It only does this when the arrow is on the right side. It's the final line of this function that does the drawing:

fileprivate func drawBubbleRightShape(_ frame: CGRect, cornerRadius: CGFloat, path: CGMutablePath) {

    path.addArc(tangent1End: CGPoint(x: frame.origin.x + frame.width, y: frame.origin.y), tangent2End: CGPoint(x: frame.origin.x, y: frame.origin.y), radius: cornerRadius)
    path.addArc(tangent1End: CGPoint(x: frame.origin.x, y: frame.origin.y), tangent2End: CGPoint(x: frame.origin.x, y: frame.origin.y + frame.height), radius: cornerRadius)
    path.addArc(tangent1End: CGPoint(x: frame.origin.x, y: frame.origin.y + frame.height), tangent2End: CGPoint(x: frame.origin.x + frame.width, y: frame.origin.y + frame.height), radius: cornerRadius)
    path.addArc(tangent1End: CGPoint(x: frame.origin.x + frame.width, y: frame.origin.y + frame.height), tangent2End: CGPoint(x: frame.origin.x + frame.width, y: frame.height), radius:cornerRadius)
}

For the life of me I can't see why it doesn't draw the rounded corner. Any ideas?

The issue only happens when the view controller open in portrait orientation, and after you make a little orientation changes the tip adjust to the right frame, is this something known ?

So, I have did this in my viewDidLoad:

EasyTipView.show(forView: self.shareBtnO,
                             withinSuperview: self.gradientView,
                             text: "Share",
                             preferences: tooltipPreferences ,
                             delegate: nil)

Preferences:

var tooltipPreferences = EasyTipView.Preferences()
        tooltipPreferences.drawing.font = UIFont(name: "FaktPro-Normal", size: 16)!
        tooltipPreferences.drawing.foregroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
        tooltipPreferences.drawing.backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 0, green: 0, blue: 0, alpha: 0.1)
        tooltipPreferences.drawing.arrowPosition = EasyTipView.ArrowPosition.Top
        EasyTipView.globalPreferences = tooltipPreferences

but the the app crashes with error:
precondition failed: The supplied superview <<UIView: 0x16d8d670; frame = (0 0; 600 600); autoresize = W+H; layer = <CALayer: 0x16d8d730>>> is not a direct nor an indirect superview of the supplied reference view <<UIButton: 0x16e79ff0; frame = (-23 -15; 46 30); opaque = NO; autoresize = RM+BM; layer = <CALayer: 0x16e7a2e0>>>. The superview passed to this method should be a direct or an indirect superview of the reference view. To display the tooltip within the main window, ignore the superview parameter.: file /Users/perte/Documents/GitHub/project/Pods/EasyTipView/Source/EasyTipView.swift, line 94

I tried self.shareBtnO.superview instead of self.gradientView . I can't let that parameter empty because otherwise the tooltip appears under the my gradient view, like here

Kindly implement arrow direction None for general uses

I've created a fork with a 'swift-3.0' branch containing change with support for Swift 3.

https://github.com/kevinwo/EasyTipView/tree/swift-3.0

Test are still passing and the example app appears to run as expected on iOS 10. If the fork looks good and a new branch is created here, I'd be happy to submit a pull request. Please let me know if you have any thoughts or questions. Thanks!

In the arrange function the refViewFrame is calculated with an extension to UIView called originWithinDistantSuperView.

In iOS 8 there is native support for that functionality (https://developer.apple.com/reference/uikit/uiview/1622442-convert)

let refViewFrame = CGRect(origin: presentingView!.originWithinDistantSuperView(superview), size: presentingView!.frame.size)

can be replaced by

let refViewFrame = presentingView!.convertRect(presentingView!.bounds, toView: superview)

(in swift 3 it has changed name to just convert)

I've programmatically created a right bar button item. When I run

    EasyTipView.showAnimated(true,
        forView: navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem,
        withinSuperview: self.navigationController?.view,
        text: "Tip view inside the navigation controller's view. Tap to dismiss!",
        preferences: preferences,
        delegate: self)

The error states I can't convert the UIBarButtonItem to UIView. Obviously if I had an IBOutlet it would work but I created this bar button item programmatically. How can I get this to work for my situation?

I'm using the swift 2.2/2.3 version and I have only the .dismiss function but not the dismissWithCompletion.

How can I do something else when I dismiss one EasyTipView (i.e and show another one)

I tried to create tooltip inside tableview cell component, but... the position mess up after tableView is scrolled or reloaded..

is there any solution for this ?

Thank you in advance
Nice Library

New to swift, so having trouble understanding how to dismiss the tooltip. I have it so when i click a button the tool tip displays, which it does. But will not dismiss. Thought to create a check variable for when the tool tip is displayed and the button is tapped again it is dismissed, but not working.

@IBAction func whyAction(sender: AnyObject) {
    let easy = EasyTipView(text: "Your privacy is respected per our Privacy Policy", preferences: EasyTipView.Preferences.init(), delegate: self)
    if tipViewStart == 0 {
        easy.showForView(sender as! UIView, withinSuperview: nil, animated: true)
        tipViewStart = 1
    } else {
        easy.dismissWithCompletion(nil)
        tipViewStart = 0
    }
  }

Just an update, didn't realize you had to click the tooltip to have it disappear... duh on my part. But nevertheless, can i dismiss by clicking on the button?

I expected easyTipViewDidDismiss to be called when doing
self.tipView.dismiss()
but it isn't.

I do that when the user taps an overlay.
easyTipViewDidDismiss is called when the user taps the tipView (so the delegate should be correct).

Is it an issue or am I holding it wrong?

Title says it all, very simple change. Seems kind of strange not being able to get the current text string that is set.

Will submit a PR for this soon unless someone else beats me to it.

Is there a way to set a tipView duration? (something like an auto dismiss after a established period)
Thank you for your work.

Hi
0.1.8 can not support Swift3.0
is there a Swift3.0 branch or tag

Thank you

If the text contained in the tip view is too short, making the width of the tooltip too small compared to the width of the view target, the arrow tip will be displayed at far right.

To replicate the issue just give the C rectangle in the example a width of 80, and write inside the relative tooltip the word "Tip".

I'll also look into this in the next days if I have some free time.

Thank you!

Is there a way to get the EasyTipView instance created with show method? E.g. to store it so later I can close them all if more than one on screen?

How custom background?

I want to use background image.

I've tried to install 1.0.0 (or 1.0.1) version (one before Swift 3) but it is using 1.0.2 whatever version I will choose:

# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '9.0'

target 'EasyTipView-Example' do
  # Comment this line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks!

  # Pods for EasyTipView-Example
  pod 'EasyTipView', '~> 1.0.1'

end

and here is the terminal output:

I have issues when showing tips for elements that are not visible on screen (view.window is nil)
Tips showed for current screen but not for uiview controls which are not visible for user.
When I scroll th screen, those tips are also scrolled up with screen. Is there some elegant solution for this problem, so I can put tips on proper position for those controls?

I tried to scroll up grammatically, and then show tips, but tips are still scrollable.

Hi,

I just installed the lib but I'm always getting a few errors inside the lib.

The first error returned is "Expressions are not allowed at the top level" at line 151.

I've installed version 1.0.2 using cocoapods

Am I missing something?

thanks,

Filipe

Hello,
is there a way to show a UIView (with UIImage) instead of only text?

Congrats for the great work.

Hi,

After updating to 0.2.1 i encountered a problem when the delegate easyTipViewDidDismiss(tipView : EasyTipView) called twice.

can you add support for s3?

Hey, I love this library. API is simple and easy to use. Only feature that's missing for me is the ability to set a timer on the view and have it automatically dismiss itself. Thanks.

As the title says, in my class declaration I have a var helpTip : EasyTipView! and then perform some code in a function below. Whenever I dismiss the helpTip, either programmatically, or by clicking the tooltip itself, the function is never called. Is there anything I'm not doing?

Am trying to implement this in a tableviewcell, but the arrow position of top or bottom ends up partially layered underneath neighboring cells due to the structure of the tableview.

As Xcode 7.3 is released and _stdlib_getDemangledTypeName unresolved error is merged to master could you please create new version?

Currently we can display a tip view above another view (view A), with the tip view horizontally aligned with view A. Is it possible to specify offset? For example:

Center tip view, with 10px to the right;
Place the tip view on the right, with 20px to the left.

Thanks!

I have an app with navigationBar and tabBar. What I want is to dismiss EasyTipView when user clicks anywhere outside of the tip. How can it be implemented?

I have Xcode 8 and trying to convert my project to Swift 3.

In my Podfile:
pod 'EasyTipView', '~> 1.0.2'

When I build the project, I get:

“Use Legacy Swift Language Version” (SWIFT_VERSION) is required to be configured correctly for targets which use Swift. Use the [Edit > Convert > To Current Swift Syntax…] menu to choose a Swift version or use the Build Settings editor to configure the build setting directly.

What am I doing wrong?

Any plans for adding IBInspectable / IBDesignable support so that it becomes a bit easy for use in storyboard? Also it would be a good idea to support encoding / decoding by subclassing NSCoder.

The EasyTipView/EasyTipView-Swift.h that is being compiled only supports:

@property (nonatomic, strong) UIColor * _Nullable backgroundColor;

- (void)showWithAnimated:(BOOL)animated forItem:(UIBarItem * _Nonnull)item withinSuperView:(UIView * _Nullable)superview;

- (void)showWithAnimated:(BOOL)animated forView:(UIView * _Nonnull)view withinSuperview:(UIView * _Nullable)superview;

- (void)dismissWithCompletion:(void (^ _Nullable)(void))completion;

It's impossible to even set the text or description of the tooltip..

Could not able to Display tipview at the bottom of textField

Following is my code instead of showing it in the bottom it will show it on top of textfield does there is anything wrong with my side ?

    guard let _ = whenDidYouStartTextField.text where whenDidYouStartTextField.text?.characters.count > 0 else {

            var pref2 =  EasyTipView.Preferences()
            pref2.drawing.font = UIFont(name: "Futura-Medium", size: 13)!
            pref2.drawing.foregroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
            pref2.drawing.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()
            pref2.drawing.arrowPosition = EasyTipView.ArrowPosition.Bottom

            let tipView = EasyTipView(text: "Please select when you start.", preferences: pref2)
            tipView.show(animated: true, forView: whenDidYouStartTextField, withinSuperview: self.tableView, autoDismissAfter: 3)
            return
}

import Foundation
import EasyTipView

extension EasyTipView {
    func show(animated animated: Bool = true, forView view: UIView, withinSuperview superview: UIView? = nil, autoDismissAfter: Double) {
        self.show(animated: animated, forView: view, withinSuperview: superview)
        let delayTime = dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, Int64(autoDismissAfter * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC)))

            self?.dismiss()

    }
}

I have been using EasyTipView to implement a demo system within the app. It works well but I found that creating the tipview and then showing it caused dismissal to not trigger the onDismiss delegate. To get around this, I have used the class show functions. When the tip is dismissed, the delegate method is called, which is great. However, I then have no way to dismiss a tip using the dismiss function within my own code. To address this, I simply altered the code to return the EasyTipView from the class functions. It seems to work well. I will try to put a pull request in place to make the change available if you wish to include it.

Thanks for making the code available!

That would be really nice, since we could then freely stylise the text in the tip view.

I have a form with fields that are stack in a UIStackView. does this pod not capable to be use with stackView i tried this but does not work

var preferences = EasyTipView.Preferences()
            preferences.drawing.backgroundColor = UIColor(hue:0.58, saturation:0.1, brightness:1, alpha:1)
            preferences.drawing.foregroundColor = UIColor.darkGray
            preferences.drawing.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.center
            
            preferences.animating.dismissTransform = CGAffineTransform(translationX: 100, y: 0)
            preferences.animating.showInitialTransform = CGAffineTransform(translationX: -100, y: 0)
            preferences.animating.showInitialAlpha = 0
            preferences.animating.showDuration = 1
            preferences.animating.dismissDuration = 1
            
            let view = EasyTipView(text: "Tip view within the green superview. Tap to dismiss.", preferences: preferences)
            view.show(forView: buttonA, withinSuperview: self.myStackView)

Everything was fine when I clicked a button to show the tip view the first time, as well as I tapped the tip view to dismiss it:

Problem is that when you click the button to show the tip view again, odd thing happens:

Here's the demo which can reproduce the issue: EasyTipViewDemo.zip.
