Android Displaying Snackbar Inside Fragment

Question

I am running into some issues with displaying a snackbar inside a fragment. I can set one up fine for an activity but when I try in a fragment it just doesnt appear and no error is given.

Snackbar inside fragment

Snackbar snackbar = Snackbar.make(rootView, "Snackbar test", Snackbar.LENGTH_SHORT);
View sbView = snackbar.getView();
TextView textView = (TextView) sbView.findViewById(android.support.design.R.id.snackbar_text);
textView.setTextColor(Color.YELLOW);
snackbar.show();   

rootView in fragment

    rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_possible_recipes, container, false);

Answer 1

You can get it done far easily just by using it like following.

Snackbar.make(getActivity().findViewById(android.R.id.content),
           "text to show", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show();

This should work in anywhere within a Fragment.

PS. I know this is old but I leave it here anyway for future reference.

Answer 2

try this way

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.

  rootlayout = (CoordinatorLayout) rootView.findViewById(R.id.coordinatorLayout);

and Snackbar

  Snackbar snackbar = Snackbar.make(rootlayout , "Snackbar test", Snackbar.LENGTH_SHORT);
                            View sbView = snackbar.getView();
                            TextView textView = (TextView) sbView.findViewById(android.support.design.R.id.snackbar_text);
                            textView.setTextColor(Color.YELLOW);
                            snackbar.show(); 

Answer 3

Snackbar.make(requireActivity().findViewById(R.id.constraintLayout),"your message", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
.show();

android:id="@+id/constraintLayout"

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
