How to position tooltip on action items in the toolbar?

[grennis]

Hi, we need to show tooltips to help user understand what the toolbar buttons do (in the top right corner of the screen). I'm not sure is it possible with this library? Library seems to require positioning relative to a view.

Toolips are anchored to a view, such as EditText, TextView, Button, etc. Those all extend view.

Yes I found I can get the toolbar and find the children in it and that works. Thanks!

Actually I found this is not the case. The action items in the toolbar are represented by one view (ActionMenuView) and therefore I can't position the tooltip on one item inside it. I think I will have to create a ghost placeholder view and manually position it and then position the tooltip relative to that. I think the library should support this for me, either directly supporting toolbar action items or at least allowing me to specify an X, Y instead of a view.
