adjust tooltip position when Tooltip.TOP

[david-serrano]

Hi there,

Whenever i use the Tooltip.TOP attribute for positioning a tooltip above the view, there is always quite a bit of space underneath it. However when using Tooltip.BOTTOM, there is no space between the view and the tooltip. Is there a way to adjust the positioning?

I tried adjusting the margins of the Tooltip Viewgroup by getting a Tooltip instance from show() to move it up and down from it's initial position but to no avail.

Screenshot attached for more info.

Hi,

Thanks for reporting the issue. I'll look into it and get back to you.

Would it be possible for you to post the code snippet related to the tooltip usage?

Top	Bottom

@david-serrano As you can see, the demo seems to work correctly. Maybe there's some padding around your buttons? Try checking with show layout bounds option.

Hi Jayrambhia, i solved the issue by forking your repository and modifying line 301 in the Tooltip class to be top -= (h + (showTip ? tip.getHeight() : 0)); essentially removing that padding value. I have checked and my layout does not have any padding, the asset used also does not have any transparent spacing.

My suggestion would be to add the padding variable as a user definable value. I will try and do this when i find some time and open a pull request :)
Edit: Just saw padding actually references the builder value - perhaps it would be useful to split that one value into 4 sections for left, right, top and bottom?
