From where are you calling `showSnackBar`? – Sid Feb 20 '17 at 08:44 — Sid, Feb 20 '17 at 08:44

You are getting that exception because Snackbar couldn't attach to a view.

More in details what's really happening is that Snackbar is calling getContext() on viewGroup which seems to be null and causes the exception to be raised.

p.s. Note that link points to View.getContext() but that's okay as ViewGroup inherits from View.
