I'm new to Appium, and mobile automation, but I could guess that tooltip is could not be found in activity structure (you could check with Appium inspector, or UIAutomatorViewer), same problem with toast notifications and AutocompleteTextView. I solve this with OCR image recognition engine.

Here you can find my implementation in Ruby: gist

I use 2 OCR libs, because of limitation for both:

Idea is simple:

  1. get required screen state(i.e. tooltip is shown)
  2. make screenshot or few
  3. process these screenshots, and look for required text
  4. get text coordinates, and click on it.

Hope it helps
