How to keep the snackbar open after action is called

I use a snackbar to notify the users of my app that they aren't connected to the internet. I added a "retry" action to the snackbar which re-checks the connection. I want the snackbar to stay displayed until I dismiss it myself (when an internet connection is found), but I can't get this to work. Whenever I click on the action, the snackbar dismisses.

I've set the duration to indefinite and the snackbar does stay open indefinitely but it dismisses when I click on the action.

I've read online that dismissing the snackbar automatically after clicking on the action hasn't always been the default behavior.

edit:

I feel like my question might be badly phrased. I have a snackbar with an action but I don't want the snackbar to close when the action is executed, which it automatically does atm.

You can do the following:

snack = Snackbar.make(binding.root, "Your text", Snackbar.LENGTH_INDEFINITE)
            .setAction("Button Text") {
                // do something here 
                it.postDelayed({
                    snack.show()
                }, 1000) // Snackbar reappears after 1 second
            }

You can try this

final Snackbar snackbar = Snackbar.make("your view".getRootView(), "Annotations", Snackbar.LENGTH_INDEFINITE);
    snackbar.setAction("your action", new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // do something
            new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    snackbar.show();
                }
            }, 1);
        }
    });
    snackbar.show();

After the action is clicked, snackbar will close automatically but with some delay, so if you call snackbar.show(); directly in the OnClickListener, the snack bar will not show. Therefore, to make it show always, give it some delay before showing it. (surprisingly, a one millisecond delay is enough)

You can override the OnClickListener set for the button. First make the snackbar with and set the action with some dummy listener

Snackbar snackbar = Snackbar.make(view,"TXT",Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).setAction("OK", new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) { }
    });

And then find the button and set your listner

snackbar.show();
ViewGroup group = (ViewGroup) snackbar.getView();
for(int i=0; i< group.getChildCount();i++){
        View v = group.getChildAt(i);
        if(v instanceof Button){
            v.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    YOUR_ACTION();
                }
            });
        }
 }
