Example

import React from 'react';
import {
  AppRegistry,
  StyleSheet,
  PixelRatio,
  View,
  Text,
} from 'react-native';

import ToolTip from 'react-native-tooltip';

export default class MyToolTip extends React.Component {
    state = {
        input: 'chirag'
    };
    
    handleCopyPress = () => {
        AlertIOS.alert(`Copy has been pressed!`);
    };
    
    handleOtherPress = () => {
        AlertIOS.alert(`Other has been pressed!`);
    };
    
    handleHide = () => {
        console.log('Tooltip did hide');
    };
    
    handleShow = () => {
        console.log('tooltip did show');
    };
    
    render() {
        return (
          <View style={{flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center'}}>
            <ToolTip
              ref='tooltip'
              actions={[
                {text: 'Copy', onPress: this.handleCopyPress },
                {text: 'Other', onPress: this.handleOtherPress }
              ]}
              onHide={this.handleHide}
              onShow={this.handleShow}
              underlayColor={'blue'}
              style={styles.selectedName}
            >
              <Text style={styles.welcome}>
                Press Here.
              </Text>
            </ToolTip>
          </View>
        );
    }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
    backgroundColor: '#F5FCFF',
  },
  textinputContainer: {
    marginTop: 20,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
  },
  textinput: {
    width: 60,
    marginVertical: 2,
    marginHorizontal: 2,
    borderWidth: 1 / PixelRatio.get(),
    borderRadius: 5,
    borderColor: '#c7c7cc',
    padding: 2,
    fontSize: 14,
    backgroundColor: 'white',
  },
});

AppRegistry.registerComponent('tooltip', () => tooltip);

Note

It is also possible to open the menu programmatically, by calling this.refs.theToolTip.showMenu(); ( theToolTip being the reference of the component). To hide menu this.refs.theToolTip.hideMenu(); (Though tooltip hides by itself, while using with drawer on specific gesture tooltip does not hide by default.)

Here is how it looks:
