illegalStateException about snackBar

Question

I got illegalStateException when I compiled my snackbar. The result of App is that I can execute the first button but once I tried to use my second button the app will crush. The code and error message are shown like this:

public void callIntent(View view) {
    Intent intent = null;
    switch (view.getId()) {
        case R.id.ZhaoDisplay:
            Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                    "Zhao Wang, 991556434; Website Name: Amazon", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
            toast.show();
            intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                    Uri.parse("https://www.amazon.ca"));
            startActivity(intent);
            break;

        case R.id.WangDisplay:

            intent = new Intent(this, WangActivity.class);
            //TextMulti

            editInput = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.TextMulti);
            String userInput = editInput.getText().toString();
            intent.putExtra("valueFromUser", userInput);

            Snackbar snackbar = null;
            snackbar = Snackbar.make(findViewById(R.id.content),
                    "My Second Screen_Zhao Wang 991556434", 10);
            snackbar.show();

            startActivity(intent);
            break;

        default:
            break;
    }

I tried to put snackbar code part to my second activity and compile it but it showed the same error. May I ask for assistance about this? Thanks.

Answer 1

The issue is with passing a wrong view for the snackbar make method, instead try the following

snackbar = Snackbar.make(findViewById(android.R.id.content),
                    "My Second Screen_Zhao Wang 991556434", 10);
            snackbar.show();
