Change height of the snackbar in dotnet MAUI Android

Question

Hi,

Does anyone know how can i change the height and the padding of the snackbar in dotnet maui Android?

var snackbarOptions = new SnackbarOptions

{


BackgroundColor = Colors.LightGray,

TextColor = Colors.Green,

CornerRadius = new CornerRadius(40),

Font =Microsoft.Maui.Font.SystemFontOfSize(14)
};  
  
  
 var snackbar = Snackbar.Make("text", null, actionButtonText: "", duration: new TimeSpan(0, 0, 3), snackbarOptions);  
  

I want to show a custom message (with a custom background and font), but i want to change the width and padding as well.

Does anyone have a solution?

Hello,

You cannot set padding or height in Snackbar from community toolkit.

But you can popup a Google.Android.Material.Snackbar.Snackbar from native android like following code.

You can pop up a Google.Android.Material.Snackbar.Snackbar for Android platform and set the padding by layout.SetPadding(); and set height by layout.SetMinimumHeight() like following code.

#if ANDROID
            Google.Android.Material.Snackbar.Snackbar snackbar = Google.Android.Material.Snackbar.Snackbar.Make(Platform.CurrentActivity, Platform.CurrentActivity.FindViewById(Android.Resource.Id.Content), "Your message", Google.Android.Material.Snackbar.Snackbar.LengthShort); ;


           Google.Android.Material.Snackbar.Snackbar.SnackbarLayout layout = (Google.Android.Material.Snackbar.Snackbar.SnackbarLayout)snackbar.View;
            layout.SetPadding(150, 0, 0, 0); //your custom padding
            layout.SetMinimumHeight(200);//your custom height

            snackbar.Show();
#endif
