The Android L

Answer 1

Here is simple way to implement snackbar in android

Step 1. Add support library 23 and compile your project with

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'

Step 2. Add coordinate layout in your activity file

Step 3. Now add following code in your MainActivity.java to implement snackbar

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    CoordinatorLayout coordinatorLayout;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        coordinatorLayout = (CoordinatorLayout) findViewById(R.id.coordinatorLayout);
        ShowSnack();
    }

    public void ShowSnack() {
        Snackbar snackbar = Snackbar.make(coordinatorLayout, "Snackbar Label", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG);
        snackbar.setAction("Action", new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Action", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });
        snackbar.setActionTextColor(Color.RED);
        View snackbarView = snackbar.getView();
        snackbarView.setBackgroundColor(Color.DKGRAY);
        TextView textView = (TextView) snackbarView.findViewById(android.support.design.R.id.snackbar_text);
        textView.setTextColor(Color.YELLOW);
        snackbar.show();
    }
}

Hope this will work for you.
