In this article, I will take a closer look at the SnackBar <\/strong>structure in Xamarin.Android applications. The SnackBar <\/strong>structure is used at the bottom of the screen to inform the user or to interact with the user.<\/p>\n

Although SnackBar functionally resembles Toast messages<\/a>, it stands out with a few features. For example, we can add a button to the SnackBar, or we can drag it away from the screen whenever we want. In addition, we can change the text color and size as we wish in order to be compatible with the layout design. With this structure, Toast is separated from the message and becomes a more useful structure.<\/p>\n

Considering these features, using Snackbar for an effective user experience will undoubtedly take your application one step ahead.<\/p>\n

1) Create a Layout<\/h2>\n

First, add a layout called snackbar_layout.xml to your application. Then add 2 buttons named \u201cDefault SnackBar\u201d and \u201cCustom SnackBar\u201d to this layout.<\/p>\n

snackbar_layout.xml codes:<\/p>\n

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>\n<LinearLayout\n    xmlns:android="http:\/\/schemas.android.com\/apk\/res\/android"\n    xmlns:app="http:\/\/schemas.android.com\/apk\/res-auto"\n    xmlns:tools="http:\/\/schemas.android.com\/tools"\n    android:layout_width="match_parent"\n    android:orientation="vertical"\n    android:layout_height="match_parent"\n    android:paddingTop="50dp">\n\n    <Button\n        android:layout_width="match_parent"\n        android:layout_height="wrap_content"\n        android:text="Default SnackBar"\n        android:id="@+id\/default_snackbar_action"\/>\n     <Button\n        android:layout_width="match_parent"\n        android:layout_height="wrap_content"\n        android:text="Custom SnackBar"\n        android:id="@+id\/custom_snackbar_action"\/>\n<\/LinearLayout><\/code><\/pre>\n
The layout will look like this:<\/p>\n
\n
\"Xamarin.Android
Layout view<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
2) Create the SnackBar View<\/h2>\n
Then create an activity named SnackBarActivity for this layout.<\/p>\n
Now first define Default SnackBar button and click event. Then create a Snackbar object with the Make()<\/strong> method and finally display it on the screen with the Show()<\/strong> method.<\/p>\n
Here you can set the duration of the SnackBar in 3 different ways:<\/p>\n
