Snackbar
Composable Component
Snackbars provide brief messages about app processes at the bottom of the screen.

Common
@Composable
fun Snackbar(
modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
action: @Composable (() -> Unit)? = null,
actionOnNewLine: Boolean = false,
shape: Shape = MaterialTheme.shapes.small,
backgroundColor: Color = SnackbarDefaults.backgroundColor,
contentColor: Color = MaterialTheme.colors.surface,
elevation: Dp = 6.dp,
content: @Composable () -> Unit,
)
Parameters
modifier | modifiers for the Snackbar layout |
action | action / button component to add as an action to the snackbar. Consider using SnackbarDefaults.primaryActionColor as the color for the action, if you do not have a predefined color you wish to use instead. |
actionOnNewLine | whether or not action should be put on the separate line. Recommended for action with long action text |
shape | Defines the Snackbar's shape as well as its shadow |
backgroundColor | background color of the Snackbar |
contentColor | color of the content to use inside the snackbar. Defaults to either the matching content color for backgroundColor , or, if it is not a color from the theme, this will keep the same value set above this Surface. |
elevation | The z-coordinate at which to place the SnackBar. This controls the size of the shadow below the SnackBar |
content | content to show information about a process that an app has performed or will perform |
