Dismiss Snackbar On left swipe

Simple code below for showing the Snackbar.

public void onClick(View view) {
       Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_INDEFINITE)
               .setAction("Action", null).show();
}

This code correctly shows the Snackbar, when onClick event occurs.

Also, this snackbar can be dismissed by a swipe gesture.

But by default, only Right-swipe is dismissing the Snackbar. And I am unable to dismiss it with left-swipe.

How to dismiss snackbar on left-swipe?

This will dismiss snackBar on Left swipes (but without that animation on swipe left)

• use getView() and take the snackBar layout
• use setOnTouchListener
• detect the movement and perform your action

and its Done!

public class HomeActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

            private float x1,x2;
            static final int MIN_DISTANCE = 150;

            @Override
            protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
                setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);

                RelativeLayout relativeLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.rel);

                final Snackbar snackbar = Snackbar.make(relativeLayout, "Helloo", Snackbar.LENGTH_INDEFINITE);
                Snackbar.SnackbarLayout layout = (Snackbar.SnackbarLayout) snackbar.getView();
                layout.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
                    @Override
                    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                        switch(event.getAction())
                        {
                            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                                    x1 = event.getX();
                                    break;
                            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                                    x2 = event.getX();
                                    float deltaX = x2 - x1;
                                if (Math.abs(deltaX) > MIN_DISTANCE)
                                    {// Left to Right swipe action
                                        if (x2 > x1)
                                        {
                                            Toast.makeText(HomeActivity.this, "Left to Right swipe ", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show ();
                                        }
                                        // Right to left swipe action
                                        else
                                        {
                                            Toast.makeText(HomeActivity.this, "Right to Left swipe ", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show ();
                                            snackbar.dismiss();
                                        }
                                    }
                                    else
                                    {
                                        Toast.makeText(HomeActivity.this, "Tap or Else", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show ();
                                    }
                                    break;
                            }

                        return false;
                    }
                });
                snackbar.show();
            }
        }
