Install-Package EasyTipView

If you prefer not to use either of the aforementioned dependency managers, you can integrate EasyTipView into your project manually.

• Supported build target - iOS 8+ (Xcode 8)

1. Install package into your application project
2. Create a new EasyTipView control:

_myTooltip = new EasyTipView.EasyTipView();
_myTooltip.Text = new Foundation.NSString("This is a tooltip sample!");
_myTooltip.ArrowPosition = EasyTipView.ArrowPosition.Right;
_myTooltip.DidDismiss += (sender, e) => 
            {
                // do something on dismiss
            };

_myButton1.TouchUpInside += (sender, e) =>
{
    _myTooltip.Show(_myButton1, this.View, true);
};

_myButton2.TouchUpInside += (sender, e) =>
{
    _myTooltip.Dismiss();
};

As you can see from the example above, Show method takes three parameters:

• View to which the tooltip will be anchored
• Superview where the tooltip will be added on screen
• Animated will display / hide the tooltip using animations

In order to customise the EasyTipView appearance and behaviour, you can play with the properties the widget exposes.

All customization possibilities can be splitted into three groups:

• Drawing - Properties related to the way EastTipView will be drawn on screen.
• Positioning - Properties related to the way EasyTipView will be drawn within its own bounds.
• Animating - Properties that will tell EasyTipView how to animate itself on and off screen.

The default animations for showing or dismissing are scale up and down. If you want to change the default behaviour, you need to change some animating attributes. An example could be:

DismissTransform = CGAffineTransform.MakeTranslation(0,-15);
ShowInitialTransform = CGAffineTransform.MakeTranslation(0, -15);
ShowInitialAlpha = 0f;
ShowDuration = 1.5f;
DismissDuration = 1.5f;

This produces the following animations:
