Theming Material Design Snackbars in Android with Example

Theming Snackbar in Android using the Material Design guidelines allows you to make sure the Snackbar looks consistent with the rest of your app's design. Here's a guide on how to theme Material Design Snackbars in Android:

1. Prerequisites:

Ensure you have the Material Components library in your build.gradle:

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:<version>'

Replace <version> with the appropriate library version.

Your app's theme should also inherit from a Material Components theme, such as Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.DarkActionBar.

2. Displaying a Snackbar:

First, let's see how to display a basic Snackbar:

import com.google.android.material.snackbar.Snackbar

Snackbar.make(view, "This is a Snackbar", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show()

Replace view with the root view of your current layout or any view inside it.

3. Theming the Snackbar:

You can modify several attributes of the Snackbar to suit your app's theme. Let's go through them:

A. Using XML styles:

Create a style for the Snackbar in your res/values/styles.xml:

<style name="CustomSnackbar" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.Snackbar">
    <item name="android:background">@color/snackbarBackground</item>
    <item name="backgroundTint">@color/snackbarBackground</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/snackbarTextColor</item>
    <item name="actionTextColor">@color/snackbarActionTextColor</item>
</style>

Replace the color resources (snackbarBackground, snackbarTextColor, and snackbarActionTextColor) with your desired colors.

Then, set this style in your main theme:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.DarkActionBar">
    ...
    <item name="snackbarStyle">@style/CustomSnackbar</item>
</style>

B. Programmatically:

You can also customize the appearance of a Snackbar programmatically:

val snackbar = Snackbar.make(view, "This is a Snackbar", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
snackbar.setBackgroundTint(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.snackbarBackground))
snackbar.setTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.snackbarTextColor))
snackbar.setActionTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.snackbarActionTextColor))
snackbar.setAction("Action") {
    // Handle action click
}
snackbar.show()

Replace the color resources (snackbarBackground, snackbarTextColor, and snackbarActionTextColor) with your desired colors.

4. Custom Views:

If you need more customization than what's available via theming, you can also create a custom layout for the Snackbar. But remember, too much deviation from the default Snackbar design might confuse users, so use custom layouts judiciously.

These are the basic theming techniques for the Material Snackbar. There are more advanced customization possibilities, but these should cover most common use cases. Always refer to the official Material Components documentation for any detailed guidance on advanced theming.
