It is possible to set the location that the Snackbar is displayed by positioning a android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout within your existing Activity layout.

For example, say your existing layout is a RelativeLayout you could add a CoordinatorLayout as follows:

Then, make sure you pass the CoordinatorLayout as the first argument of the Snackbar.make() command.

final View viewPos = findViewById(R.id.myCoordinatorLayout);    
Snackbar.make(viewPos, R.string.snackbar_text, Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
                            .setAction(R.string.snackbar_action_undo, showListener)
                            .show();

This will result in the Snackbar being shown at the bottom of the CoordinatorLayout provided to the make() function.

If you pass a View that is not a CoordinatorLayout the Snackbar will walk up the tree until it finds a CoordinatorLayout or the root of the layout.
