How to set support library snackbar text color to something other than android:textColor?

Question

So I\'ve started using the new Snackbar in the Design Support Library, but I found that when you define \"android:textColor\" in your theme, it applies to the text color of the

Answer 1

Find by id did't work for me so I found another solution:

Snackbar snackbar = Snackbar.make(view, text, duration);//just ordinary creation

ViewGroup snackbarView = (ViewGroup) snackbar.getView();
SnackbarContentLayout contentLayout = (SnackbarContentLayout) snackbarView.getChildAt(0);
TextView tvText = contentLayout.getMessageView();
tvText.setTextColor(/*your color here*/);

//set another colors, show, etc

Answer 2

I changed my theme

Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar

to

Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar 

It worked.Try to use simple theme instead of light or other theme.

Answer 3

I found this at What are the new features of Android Design Support Library and how to use its Snackbar?

This worked for me for changing the text color in a Snackbar.

Snackbar snack = Snackbar.make(view, R.string.message, Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG);
View view = snack.getView();
TextView tv = (TextView) view.findViewById(android.support.design.R.id.snackbar_text);
tv.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
snack.show();

UPDATE: ANDROIDX: As dblackker points out in the comments, with the new AndroidX support library, code to find the ID of Snackbar TextView changes to:

TextView tv = view.findViewById(com.google.android.material.R.id.snackbar_text);
tv.setTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(requireContext(), R.color.someColor))

Answer 4

Use the Snackbar included in the Material Components Library and apply the

• setTextColor to define the text color
• setActionTextColor to define the text color used by the action. You can use a color or a color selector
• setBackgroundTint to define the background color of the Snackbar

Something like:

Snackbar snackbar = Snackbar.make(view, "My custom Snackbar", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG);        
snackbar.setTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this,R.color.xxxxx));
snackbar.setActionTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this,R.color.my_selector));
snackbar.setBackgroundTint(ContextCompat.getColor(this,R.color.xxxx));
snackbar.show();

Answer 5

I know this has been answered already but the easiest way I found was directly in the make using the Html.fromHtml method and a font tag

Snackbar.make(view, 
       Html.fromHtml("<font color=\"#ffffff\">Tap to open</font>").show()

Answer 6

This is what I use when I need custom colors

    @NonNull
    public static Snackbar makeSnackbar(@NonNull View layout, @NonNull CharSequence  text, int duration, int backgroundColor, int textColor/*, int actionTextColor*/){
        Snackbar snackBarView = Snackbar.make(layout, text, duration);
        snackBarView.getView().setBackgroundColor(backgroundColor);
        //snackBarView.setActionTextColor(actionTextColor);
        TextView tv = (TextView) snackBarView.getView().findViewById(android.support.design.R.id.snackbar_text);
        tv.setTextColor(textColor);
        return snackBarView;
    }

And consumed as:

CustomView.makeSnackbar(view, "Hello", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG, Color.YELLOW,Color.CYAN).setAction("DO IT", myAction).show();
