Answer 1

In addition to Saeid's answer, you can get the default SnackBar layout params and modify them as you want:

public static void displaySnackBarWithBottomMargin(Snackbar snackbar, int sideMargin, int marginBottom) {     final View snackBarView = snackbar.getView();     final CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams params = (CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams) snackBarView.getLayoutParams();      params.setMargins(params.leftMargin + sideMargin,                 params.topMargin,                 params.rightMargin + sideMargin,                 params.bottomMargin + marginBottom);      snackBarView.setLayoutParams(params);     snackbar.show(); }

None of the above solutions worked for me.

But, I got one trick that we can use with the help of translation.

Snackbar snackbar = Snackbar.make(mActivity.getWindow().getDecorView().getRootView(), message, Snackbar.LENGTH_SHORT); View snackBarView = snackbar.getView(); snackBarView.setTranslationY(-(convertDpToPixel(48, mActivity))); snackbar.show(); 

you can find convertDpToPixel method here
