[SOLVED] Snack bar not displayed

Snack bar not displayed

I'm inheriting from BaseActivity for all the other activities.

public class BaseActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    public static CoordinatorLayout coordinatorLayout;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_base);
        coordinatorLayout = (CoordinatorLayout) findViewById(R.id
                .coordinatorLayout1);
    }
}

activity_base.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/coordinatorLayout1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
    tools:context="com.example.Activity.BaseActivity"> 
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Snackbar is not displayed when tried to access from a non-activity class.

Snackbar snackbar = Snackbar.make(
        BaseActivity.coordinatorLayout,
        "Helooo....",
        Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG
);

Solution

Make a public method in a Util class and dont make the cordinatorLayout as public static. Keep the weakReference of your Activity's instance and through that you can show the SnackBar. Method given below.

public void showSnackBar(Activity activity, String message){
    View rootView = activity.getWindow().getDecorView().findViewById(android.R.id.content);
    Snackbar.make(rootView, message, duration).show();
}
