SnackBar class

A lightweight message with an optional action which briefly displays at the bottom of the screen.

To display a snack bar, call ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(), passing an instance of SnackBar that describes the message.

To control how long the SnackBar remains visible, specify a duration.

A SnackBar with an action will not time out when TalkBack or VoiceOver are enabled. This is controlled by AccessibilityFeatures.accessibleNavigation.

During page transitions, the SnackBar will smoothly animate to its location on the other page. For example if the SnackBar.behavior is set to SnackBarBehavior.floating and the next page has a floating action button, while the current one does not, the SnackBar will smoothly animate above the floating action button. It also works in the case of a back gesture transition.

Here is an example of a SnackBar with an action button implemented using SnackBarAction.

flutter create --sample=material.SnackBar.1 mysample

Here is an example of a customized SnackBar. It utilizes behavior, shape, padding, width, and duration to customize the location, appearance, and the duration for which the SnackBar is visible.
