        android:defaultValue="3G"
        android:key="pref_data_list"/>
</PreferenceCategory>
</PreferenceScreen>

My function for showing snackbar is :

    public void hideKeyWithError(final String error) {
    new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            AppUtils.hide_keyboard(getActivity());
            Snackbar.make(view,error,Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    }, (300));
}

I don't know what to pass as 'view' to snackbar to show it.

PS : I tried passing PreferenceScreen to Snackbar, But didn't work out. Thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

Try this for get view

View view = getView();

So the code is.

public void hideKeyWithError(final String error) {
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        View view = getView();
        AppUtils.hide_keyboard(getActivity());
        Snackbar.make(view,error,Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
}, (300));
}

Answer 2

View param of Snackbar.make() means a view on which Snackbar can find parent to display Snackbar on the top of screen

Snackbar will try and find a parent view to hold Snackbar's view from the value given to view
