Question 1

How to add animations to react-native-walkthrough-tooltip?

Accepted Answer

Since version 1.0 removed the animated prop, you must handle animations externally using React Native's Animated API or third-party libraries. Alternatively, you can downgrade to version 0.6.1, but this may miss newer features.

Question 2

React Native Walkthrough Tooltip vs react-native-onboarding: which is better?

Accepted Answer

This tooltip is more flexible and lightweight for custom, single-point highlights, while libraries like react-native-onboarding often provide pre-built multi-step flows with animations. Choose based on whether you need deep customization or quick setup.

Question 3

How to fix tooltip positioning issues on Android?

Accepted Answer

Use the topAdjustment prop, typically set to Platform.OS === 'android' ? -StatusBar.currentHeight : 0, to compensate for measurement inaccuracies in React Native. This is mentioned in the props table as a common workaround.

Question 4

Can I use this without the fullscreen modal overlay?

Accepted Answer

Yes, set useReactNativeModal to false to render the tooltip as an absolute view instead, but this may not handle edge cases like overlapping modals and requires manual management of view hierarchy.

Question 5

How to customize the arrow style in the tooltip?

Accepted Answer

Use the arrowStyle prop to apply custom styles, and adjust dimensions with arrowSize. For example, you can change colors or borders to match your app's theme, as outlined in the style props section.

Question 6

Is this good for multi-step walkthroughs?

Accepted Answer

It can be used for multi-step sequences by managing isVisible states across components, but for complex flows, you might need additional logic or consider complementary libraries like react-native-walkthrough that build on it.

Question 7

How to prevent the tooltip from closing when the user touches the highlighted element?

Accepted Answer

Set closeOnChildInteraction to false to allow interactions without auto-dismissal, giving you control over closing via onClose. This is detailed in the props under handling child touches.
