SnackbarHostState


State of the SnackbarHost, which controls the queue and the current Snackbar being shown inside the SnackbarHost.

This state is usually remembered and used to provide a SnackbarHost to a Scaffold.

Public functions

showSnackbar

suspend fun showSnackbar(visuals: SnackbarVisuals): SnackbarResult

Shows or queues to be shown a Snackbar at the bottom of the Scaffold to which this state is attached and suspends until the snackbar has disappeared.

SnackbarHostState guarantees to show at most one snackbar at a time. If this function is called while another snackbar is already visible, it will be suspended until this snackbar is shown and subsequently addressed. If the caller is cancelled, the snackbar will be removed from display and/or the queue to be displayed.

All of this allows for granular control over the snackbar queue from within:

Parameters
visuals: SnackbarVisuals

    message: String,
    actionLabel: String? = null,

                .fillMaxSize()
                .wrapContentSize()
        )
    }
)

To change the Snackbar appearance, change it in 'snackbarHost' on the Scaffold.

actionLabel: String? = null

Returns
SnackbarResult
