How to make a Snackbar

Snackbar.make(view, R.string.text_label, Snackbar.LENGTH_SHORT) .show()
How to add an action to Snackbar

Snackbar.make(view, R.string.text_label, Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
    .setAction(R.string.action_text) {

    }

Positioning a Snackbar

By default, Snackbars will be placed at  the bottom edge of their parent view. However, you can use the setAnchorView method to make a Snackbar appear above a specific view within your layout, e.g. a Button.

Snackbar.make(...)
    .setAnchorView(button)
