Answer 1

As a reference to Ashwani Kumars answer. I saw Intimate asked if there is a way to implement this with LinearLayout. Well simple wrap your original LinearLayout with a CoordinatorLayout with match_parent in android:layout_height and android:layout_width attributes.

this will keep your original arrangement and still make sure the Snackbar is swipable.

Snackbar will now look like this:

For fragments -

Snackbar.make(getView(), "Error Message", Snackbar.LENGTH_INDEFINITE);

For activities -

Snackbar.make(this.findViewById(android.R.id.content), "Error Message",  Snackbar.LENGTH_INDEFINITE);

Assuming you wraped your whole layout with CoordinatorLayout and this is the root layout.
