A tooltip is normally opaque, so it covers the neighbours you were comparing against at exactly the moment you wanted them. That is the case a glass surface solves rather than decorates, so the demo is a photo grid where each tile owns a balloon whose body is a frosted lens.

Modifier.sky marks the grid as the capture source, Modifier.cloudy(sky = ...) draws that capture back blurred inside the balloon, and Modifier.liquidGlass bends it near the edges. Blur radius and the lens are switchable so the parameters are visible rather than claimed. Verified on Android and Desktop.

Two things worth flagging:

  • Modifier.sky on a lazy container renders nothing on Android. With LazyVerticalGrid as the capture source the tiles compose and appear in the semantics tree, but no pixels are drawn. The same code is fine on Desktop, and a plain scrolling Column is fine on both, so the demo uses one. Cloudy's own README example uses LazyVerticalGrid as the source, so this looks like a real bug on that side rather than a usage error here.
  • cloudy declares minCompileSdk=37. The demo modules compile against 37; :balloon stays on 36 so the published AAR keeps asking consumers for 36, which it still does. samples-shared also drops iosX64, which cloudy does not publish; the library still targets it.

spotlessCheck, apiCheck, desktopTest, testDebugUnitTest, and every platform build pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a Glass Tooltips demo with gradient gallery cards and interactive tooltips.
    • Added controls to toggle lens effects and adjust blur intensity.
    • Added navigation between the main demo and the new Glass Tooltips screen.
    • Added support for the Cloudy visual effects library in demo applications.
  • Platform Updates
    • Updated demo builds to use the latest Android SDK.
    • Removed the iOS x64 demo target while retaining arm64 targets.

A tooltip is usually opaque, so it lands on the thing you just tapped and
hides the neighbours you were comparing it against. That is the worst moment
to take context away, and it is the case a glass surface actually solves
rather than just decorates.

The demo is a photo grid where each tile owns a balloon whose body is a
frosted lens: `Modifier.sky` marks the grid as the capture source,
`Modifier.cloudy(sky = ...)` draws that capture back blurred inside the
balloon, and `Modifier.liquidGlass` bends it near the edges so it reads as
glass rather than as a translucent rectangle. The control bar is the same
backdrop API doing its ordinary job. Blur radius and the lens are switchable
so the parameters are visible rather than asserted.

Worth recording, because both cost a debugging session:

`Modifier.sky` is applied to a plain scrolling Column, not to a
`LazyVerticalGrid`. A lazy container as the capture source draws nothing at
all on Android: the items compose and show up in the semantics tree, but no
pixels reach the screen. The same code renders on Desktop. Eight tiles do not
need recycling, so the demo sidesteps it.

`cloudy` declares `minCompileSdk=37`, so the demo modules compile against 37
while `:balloon` stays on 36. The library's own `minCompileSdk` is part of
what it asks of every consumer, and a demo dependency is no reason to raise
it. The published AAR still reports 36.

`samples-shared` also drops `iosX64`, which `cloudy` does not publish. The
library still targets it.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The demo build adds Cloudy and uses compile SDK 37. The shared sample app adds a glass tooltip gallery with Balloon tooltips, Cloudy backdrops, optional lens refraction, blur controls, and navigation from the demo screen.

Changes

Glass tooltip demo

Layer / File(s) Summary
Demo build support
androidApp/build.gradle.kts, buildSrc/src/main/kotlin/com/skydoves/balloon/Configuration.kt, gradle/libs.versions.toml, samples-shared/build.gradle.kts
Demo modules use compile SDK 37 and add Cloudy 1.0.0-alpha01. The shared module removes the iOS x64 target because the dependency has no Intel simulator artifact.
Sample navigation
samples-shared/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/skydoves/balloon/sample/BalloonDemoScreen.kt, samples-shared/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/skydoves/balloon/sample/BalloonSampleApp.kt
The demo adds a “Glass tooltips (Cloudy)” button, opens GlassTooltipScreen, and returns to the demo screen through onBack.
Glass gallery and tooltip rendering
samples-shared/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/skydoves/balloon/sample/glass/*
The new screen displays gradient gallery cards with Balloon tooltips. Cloudy redraws the captured backdrop, liquid glass lens refraction is optional, and controls select lens state and blur radius.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to 1079e

This PR adds the glass tooltip demo, but the current sample code is missing an import required by Modifier.weight, so the shared sample module cannot compile until it is fixed. The callback documentation also names the wrong destination, but that is minor.

A rabbit taps the glass-lit trail

Cloudy swirls behind each tile
Balloons bloom with frosted cheer
Lens and blur controls appear
Back hops home when screens are clear

Correct the onOpenGlass KDoc.

The documentation says this callback navigates to BalloonLabsScreen, but it opens GlassTooltipScreen. Update the reference so the public API documentation matches the action.

Import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.weight.

GlassTooltipScreen.kt calls Modifier.weight(1f) inside a Row, but does not import the weight extension. The unresolved reference prevents samples-shared common code from compiling.
