CheatSheet

Quick setup for Long Press tooltips on views, similar to the default ActionBar/Toolbar behavior. Originally contained within AOSP, this version found within Telecine

Deprecated

This is now supported as of API 26, using the Tooltip API or TooltipCompat

Usage

CheatSheet.setup(fab, "This is how you favorite");

or

CheatSheet.setup(fab, R.string.favorite);

This will establish a long click listener on the fab view, and any time it is long clicked, a Toast will appear near the view (similar to what happens when you long press an item in a typical ActionBar/Toolbar

If you want to customize the style of the Toasts that appear, use a factory:

CheatSheet.setFactory(new CheatSheet.Factory() {
    @NonNull
    @Override
    public Toast createToast(@NonNull View view, @NonNull CharSequence text) {
        //do all the custom things you want
        return Toast.makeText(view.getContext(), text, Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
            .setView(new CustomView(view.getContext()));
    }
});
