How to show snackbar throughout the Application?

Question

I have more than 3 Activity but let's just take three of them, BaseActivity, Splashscreen, MainActivity. Splashscreen and Mainactivity extends BaseActivity. Now i am showing a Snackbar inside the BaseActivity whenever I get failureresponse from the server. The response code is in BaseActivity and parallely i am transitioning from splashscreen to MainActivity.

The snackbar is not showing up? What could be the error? is there a way to make static snackbar? i have tried it but didnt get the getWindow from a static method? Anyone faced this problem?

put getWindow().getDecorView().findViewById(android.R.id.content) this as view in snackbar and make a function that shows the snack in base activity. — Wisdomrider, Jan 12 '19 at 12:24

Yes you can create a static method in your utils and create snack bar in utils class and use anywhere in your app

     public static void showSnackBar(View view, String msg) {
        if (view != null) {
            Snackbar snackbar = Snackbar.make(view, msg, Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG);
            View snackbarView = snackbar.getView();
            TextView textView = snackbarView.findViewById(android.support.design.R.id.snackbar_text);
            textView.setMaxLines(5);
//snackBarView.setBackgroundColor(Color.argb(255, 8, 20, 37));
            snackbar.show();
        }
    }

Use:

Utils.showSnackBar(getView(), failureMessage);

What's getView() ? Will it be available if I go from one activity to another activity? is it not activity-dependent because if it is then it will recreate whenever the activity recreates or new activity opens. – Aman Verma Jan 12 '19 at 12:54
there is no method such getview() – Aman Verma Jan 12 '19 at 12:57
No, i am using this method in the fragment, And fragment provide getView() return root view – Milan Pansuriya Jan 12 '19 at 12:58
you pass any view for your use – Milan Pansuriya Jan 12 '19 at 12:58
i passed the rootview() and call the above code in oncreate of baseactivity. My other two activities extend baseactivity so when i go from splashscreen to mainactivity it will create new BaseAcitivty and as soon as i go to the next activity the snackbar dismissed. I want to show snackbar which is Application based. – Aman Verma Jan 12 '19 at 13:01
a snack bar is destroyed when activity is destroyed – Milan Pansuriya Jan 12 '19 at 13:03
So there is no way to show snackbar when going from one activity to another? – Aman Verma Jan 12 '19 at 13:04
