Example:

final java.util.Timer timer = new Timer();
Snackbar snackbar = Snackbar.make(...).setAction("Undo", new OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            timer.cancel();
            for(Word word:temp)
                data.add(word);
            adapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); 
        }
    }).show();
timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
    public void run() {
        // delete from db
    }
}, snackbar.getDuration());

It may be a good idea to add a little to the snackbar.getDuration() time (100-200ms?) as timers are not very exact in terms of timing and this way they may get called just before the snackbar is about to close, althought the possibility is rather small in this case.
