Snackbar in fragments gives IllegalArgumentException: No suitable parent found from the given view

Question

I my app I have two tabs. For tabs I use fragments. Each tab has a network call using Volley. For volley error I am using Snackbar to show the error. My problem is, the Snackbar is working well if I am in that particular fragment while the error is triggering. If I go back before the error trigger this error coming.

Answer 1

You can try using Activity content view as your parameter when calling SnackBar, something like this:

View view = getActivity().findViewById(android.R.id.content);

Snackbar snackbar = Snackbar.make(view, "Please connect to the network!", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG);
...
snackbar.show();
