getColor throws exception -> Target SDK 23

[skywalkerlw]

The exception happened at the line of :
alpha = array.getColor(fadeOut, 0);

in the following code block:

public TooltipOverlayDrawable(Context context, int defStyleResId) {
        this.mOuterPaint.setStyle(Style.FILL);
        this.mInnerPaint.setStyle(Style.FILL);
        TypedArray array = context.getTheme().obtainStyledAttributes(defStyleResId, styleable.TooltipOverlay);

        for(int fadeIn = 0; fadeIn < array.getIndexCount(); ++fadeIn) {
            int fadeOut = array.getIndex(fadeIn);
            int alpha;
            if(fadeOut == styleable.TooltipOverlay_android_color) {
                alpha = array.getColor(fadeOut, 0);
                this.mOuterPaint.setColor(alpha);
                this.mInnerPaint.setColor(alpha);

Obviously, it is because that context.getTheme().obtainStyledAttributes does not include an attribute of color

So the solution could be: add following items into your theme:

<item name="colorAccent" tools:ignore="NewApi">#0092ff</item>
        <item name="colorPrimary" tools:ignore="NewApi">#ffcc00</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark" tools:ignore="NewApi">#ff6600</item>

Frankly, the library could do something to avoid this issue without asking users to include above lines. :)

same thing happen on me

I tried to call:

Tooltip.make(
getActivity(),
new Tooltip.Builder()
.anchor(getActivity().findViewById(R.id.help_button), Tooltip.Gravity.BOTTOM)
.fitToScreen(true)
.closePolicy(Tooltip.ClosePolicy.TOUCH_INSIDE_CONSUME, 10000)
.text("BOTTOM. Touch outside to dismiss the tooltip")
.withArrow(true)
.maxWidth(300)
.withStyleId(R.style.ToolTipLayoutDefaultStyle_Custom1)
.build()
).show();

and get the error of

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Failed to resolve attribute at index 6: TypedValue{t=0x1c/d=0xff33b5e5 a=1 r=0x1060012}
at android.content.res.TypedArray.getColor(TypedArray.java:447)

Can you also reproduce this with the sample app? Because it's working correctly here.

I have this issue as well...

Was this going to be resolved? I attempted to add the attributes wangbourne described, but it is not solving the issue. Unless I am doing it incorrectly?

I attempted to extend the default:

<style name="MyTooltipStyle" parent="ToolTipOverlayDefaultStyle"> #0092ff #ffcc00 #ff6600 </style>

and add: withStyleId(R.style.MyTooltipStyle) to my builder
