Answer 1

You need to implement a layout behavior for your View and reference it from your layout xml file.

It is simple to implement your own layout behavior. In your case, you only need to set the translation y of your view when the snackbar appears.

public class YourCustomBehavior extends CoordinatorLayout.Behavior<View> {

    public YourCustomBehavior(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onDependentViewChanged(CoordinatorLayout parent, View child, View dependency) {
        float translationY = Math.min(0, dependency.getTranslationY() - dependency.getHeight());
        child.setTranslationY(translationY);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean layoutDependsOn(CoordinatorLayout parent, View child, View dependency) {
        // we only want to trigger the change 
        // only when the changes is from a snackbar
        return dependency instanceof Snackbar.SnackbarLayout;
    }
}

And add it to your layout xml like this

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
        android:id="@+id/your_sign_up_card_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        ...
        app:layout_behavior="com.your.app.YourCustomBehavior"/>

The value for the app:layout_behavior attribute should be the full qualified name of the behavior class.

You can also refer to this article which explains everything nicely.

A even more simple way

just add this line :

app:layout_dodgeInsetEdges="bottom"

to your layout.

here is an example :

<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
    android:id="@+id/fabImport"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="56dp"
    app:cardCornerRadius="28dp"
    android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
    android:backgroundTint="@color/colorPrimary"
    android:layout_margin="16dp"
    android:elevation="10dp"
    app:layout_dodgeInsetEdges="bottom"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom|start">

    <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <ImageView...

This is what I did in-case someone is looking out.
