Using SnackBar - Material Design

Using SnackBar - Material Design : 

To display a post action notification we used Toasts, but the introduction to material design came SnackBar. To use SnackBar :

In your gradle file(app), within your dependencies add :

dependencies {
    ...
    compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.0'

}

In your java file, where you want to show notification :

Snackbar

   .make(parentLayout,"This is a SnackBar!",Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
   .setAction("Action", null)
   .show();

**You’ll note the use of a View as the first parameter to make() - Snackbar will attempt to find an appropriate parent of the Snackbar’s view to ensure that it is anchored to the bottom.

parentLayout example :

public void snackBar(View view) {

     Snackbar.make(view, "This is SnackBar!"Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
           .setAction("Action", null)

           .show();
    }

        <TextView
