Tooltip in flutter

Save

Tooltip explains the functionality of an icon or user interface action with the help of a text label and helps us to explain the features of an app in a better way. The tooltip in Flutter is very easy to use.

When a user moves or points over a particular widget, it shows additional information. As a result, it increases the accessibility of an application. The use case of the tooltip is when you have a lot of information to show on the screen but the UI of the application is too thick to show all data at once. In that case, you can just wrap your widgets with a tooltip and when you long press or hover over the widget, tooltip will show information about the widget. It makes the application more open.
