how to support long-click button = hover text?

[Dave O]

Hi there,

I've noticed that in the latest Android apps from Google, long-clicking an icon button shows a tooltip near the button.

Is there a declarative way to define this in B4A (similar to .HintText for editText controls), or will I need to do it programmatically by creating a long-click subroutine and showing a custom message somehow?

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

I think that these are standard Toast messages shown in the LongClick event. You can use the custom toast library to set the toast message position.

FYI, I've just posted a code snippet here that makes it easy to show tooltips for views.
