Table of Contents

Dependency

A snackbar must be tied to a coordinator layout. If you use fragments the standard layout is FrameLayout which can be directly swapped with:

<androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout

Snackbar

val snackbar = Snackbar.make( 
    binding.root, 
    "No internet connection! Please enable WiFi or Mobile Data", 
    Snackbar.LENGTH_INDEFINITE ) 
snackbar.show()
