Android - how to show a snackbar containing a string taken from a fragment

Question

I have a Fragment with a ListView . When I click on a certain element on this list I want to show the title of the clicked element inside a Snackbar , but I get an error. How can I solve it?

Fragment method:

mListViewSongs.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
        View rowView = view;
        TextView tv = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.song_title);
        Song selectedSong = (Song) mListViewSongs.getItemAtPosition(position);
        String title = "▶ "+selectedSong.getSongName();
        mainActivity.setSelectedSong(title);
    }
});

The method used inside the Activity :

public void setSelectedSong(String title) {
    Snackbar snack = Snackbar.make(coordinatorLayout, title, Snackbar.LENGTH_SHORT);
    View viewSnack = snack.getView();
    TextView txtv = (TextView) viewSnack.findViewById(android.support.design.R.id.snackbar_text);
    txtv.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
    snack.show();
}

Plus, I tested the Snackbar method for aligning the text in the center but it didn't work, why?

Answer 1

Instead of calling activity's method you can directly show Snackbar in a fragment. Try this in onItemClick() directly where you want to show Snackbar -

Snackbar snack = Snackbar.make(android.R.id.content, title, Snackbar.LENGTH_SHORT);
View viewSnack = snack.getView();
TextView txtv = (TextView) viewSnack.findViewById(android.support.design.R.id.snackbar_text);
txtv.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
snack.show();
