Android Simple Tooltip

Known issues

1. If you close the Dialog/Activity without the Tooltip is closed, there may be the exception java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not lock surface. This error occurs because the animation continue for a while after closing the Dialog/Activity. (This error does not impact the execution of the app)

2. If you call tooltip.show() after Activity/Dialog is closed, there may be the exception android.view.WindowLeaked: Activity has leaked window android.widget.PopupWindow$PopupViewContainer that was originally added here. Read more. (This error does not impact the execution of the app)
