How to display Snackbar above BottomNavigationView & move FAB?

Question

this is similar to many questions but I got some different scenario . Let me explain scenario first , I have a MainActivity with BottomNavigationView & FrameLayout for switching Fragments according to BottomNavigation items click. One of the fragment has FAB & within this Fragment I need to display Snackbar .

What I have tried so far,
1) Added BottomNavigationView inside another FrameLayout , but SnackBar overlapping .
2) Added BottomBar into sub CoordinatorLayout & snackbar is behind Bottombar

Here are XMLs for MainActivity & Fragment

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" />

<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView

Do let me know if any other information is required .

Any help would be appreciated .

Answer 1

While displaying your snack bar programmatically, try this instead:

 Snackbar snack = Snackbar.make(findViewById(R.id.coordinator_layout),
            successMessage, Snackbar.LENGTH_INDEFINITE);

    snack.setAction("Ok", v -> snack.dismiss());
    CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams params = (CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams)
            snack.getView().getLayoutParams();
    params.setAnchorId(R.id.navigation);
    params.anchorGravity = Gravity.TOP;
    params.gravity = Gravity.TOP;
    snack.getView().setLayoutParams(params);
    snack.show();

Answer 2

If you are calling a SnackBar from Fragment you may do something like this:

private fun showSnackBarMessage() {
    val bottomNavView: BottomNavigationView = activity?.findViewById(R.id.bottom_nav)!!
    Snackbar.make(bottomNavView, "No data available", Snackbar.LENGTH_SHORT).apply {
        anchorView = bottomNavView
    }.show()
}

You may obtain bottomNavView from the activity's layout and then use it as anchor view for SnackBar. Now it'll be displayed above Bottom Navigation Bar
