How can I be notified when a Snackbar has dismissed itself?

Question

I\'m using a Snackbar from the com.android.support:design:22.2.0 library. I\'m using it to undo deletions. To make my life easier, I\'m going to make the UI loo

Recently I stumbled upon this matter myself when for scrolling and showing Snackback, too many were shown before the first even disappeared. I had to find a way to know if the app should have laid down the Snackbar.

I personally found this solution.

It is true Snackbar itself does not offer any kind of listener for it's state/visibility, but you can still get the View Object out of Snackbar ( getView(); ). From the View Object you have the chance to use a wide variety of methods to add listeners.

To implement it you have to go out of the common "all-in-one-line" Toast/Snackbar usage, because adding listeners returns void .

I personally found OnAttachStateChangeListener to fulfill my needs.

Dropping a snipper with my code in case it might turn useful for you.

Snackbar snack = Snackbar.make(getView(), "My Placeholder Text", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG);

snack.getView().addOnAttachStateChangeListener(new View.OnAttachStateChangeListener() {
    @Override
        public void onViewAttachedToWindow(View v) {
            canDisplaySnackbar = false;
        }

    @Override
    public void onViewDetachedFromWindow(View v) {

        Handler h = new Handler();
        h.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                canDisplaySnackbar = true;

                }
        }, 1000);
    }
});
snack.show();

Please note that this is just my implementation for my own problem, Handler with a postDelayed Runnable might not even fit your case. It was just to give a general idea of the implementation I suggested using a snippet I already own.
