Snackbar with API 21

I'm trying to implement the new Snackbars in my app but I can't. First of all I downloaded the zip file from this SnackBarSampleActivity.
I unziped it and then I import it in Eclipse. Now I get an error retrieving parent... for the theme parent in styles.xml.
I change it to android:Theme.Light and the error was gone. I right clicked the project and checked isLibrary in Properties/Android, I right clicked my app and in Properties/Android I add the library. Finally I paste the code to show a Snackbar but I get an error because Snackbar cannot be resolved.
Please somebody help me! I'm going crazy, what am I doing wrong?

Add this in your build.gradle (Module: app) inside dependencies:

implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'

or

implementation 'com.dmitrymalkovich.android:material-design-dimens:1.4'

Complete code:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'
}

or

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.dmitrymalkovich.android:material-design-dimens:1.4'
}

With the new Design Support Library you can use the official SnackBar Widget.

Just add this dependency to your app -> build.gradle:

implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'

And use something like:

Snackbar.make(view, "Snackbar", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show();

enter image description here

Full Example, In Kotlin

        val fab = findViewById(R.id.btn_signin) as Button
        fab.setOnClickListener(View.OnClickListener { view ->
            Snackbar.make(view, "FloatingActionButton is clicked", Snackbar.LENGTH_INDEFINITE)
                    .setAction("Action", null).show()
        })

If you are facing "not resolved to a type" issue in Eclipse for Snackbar, this worked for me.

Right click on Project->BuildPath->Configure Buildpath Click on Libraries Tab and then click on Add external Libraries.

Select {path of adt}/sdk/extras/android/support/design/libs Select android-support-design.jar, Click Open to add this library.

Click Ok.

For Eclipse Developers

  1. Follow the instructions given in github to import SnackBar project
  2. Right click on the java folder and click build path > add as source folder

  3. add these lines/change SnackBar project's AndroidManifest.xml as follows

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7"
    android:targetSdkVersion="22"/>
<application />

package="com.nispok.snackbar"

  1. Add following dependencies to the SnackBar project

android-support-v7-appcompat: 21
android-support-v7-recyclerview: 21

  1. Finally set Project build target to API 22 in project properties.

That's it will be working for you, Have a great coding day..

You should try to use Android Studio, because the ADT plugin for Eclipse is no longer in active development.

In Android Studio, you just need to add a line compile 'com.nispok:snackbar:2.6.1' in your build.gradle dependencies, such that

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.2'
    compile 'com.nispok:snackbar:2.6.1'
}

That's it.
