Tag (or somethin)?

[noties]

Hey!
First of all - thanks for a superb library.
Secondly - maybe it would be nice to have a String tag (or something) to identify a Snackbar and update already showing, or simply remove the previous Snack?

[davidjrichardson]

There is a file in the sample app named SnackbarManager.java or similar that does something similar to what you're requesting. Maybe have a look at that and modify/extend it where needed?

I agree that you can use something similar to the SnackbarManager from the sample app for this. Were you thinking of a different approach?

[davidjrichardson]

I think the approach suggested here is to be similar to that of Fragments, where you can add a Fragment to a layout with a specific tag attribute (of type string) so you can call getFragmentByTag(String) on the FragmentManager.

[wmora]

Right, then in that case the SnackbarManager would do the trick. Since a Snackbar extends a LinearLayout, it already supports the setTag()/setId() and getTag()/getId() methods. Then the SnackbarManager can get the desired Snackbar from its tag

[davidjrichardson]

Would it be reasonable to provide a SnackbarManager along with the library, then, rather than providing one in the sample application?

[wmora]

That would be a good idea, I'll try to work on it later this week.

Hi!
Yep, I've missed sample app... But, guess that setting tag on a view would not be a very good idea (since we are attaching to a root frame of an activity, calling findViewByTag would traverse through all view hierarchy), so I've ended up with creating a SnackbarManager ( gist ).
BTW I had to use Handler approach, because Snackbar doesn't have onDismissListener, how come? )

[wmora]

It does, the EventListener provides an onDismiss event

@davidjrichardson @noties a little late, but version 2.6.0 provides the first version of a SnackbarManager. Hope it helps

[wmora]

I'll consider this closed since a SnackbarManager is now included with the lib.
