How use the component

How described in introduction chapter my object on this component is to implements the same Android API in Swing, in version 0.1-rc1 this is not real but contains different methods and different names, It mean that some methods change change in the future.

Declare a SwingSnackBar

The basic way to declare a SwingSnackBar is

SnackBar.make(frame, "Swing SnackBar", "OPEN").run();

While in Android

 Snackbar.make(v, "Android SnackBar", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show();

The difference is on the constructor, the Android take the time to show the component, however with Swing you should be pass the Button text, such as: "CLOSE", "OPEN". In addition with SwingSnackBar is possible pass also the button icon. For example, with this code:

Icon close = MaterialImageFactory.getInstance().getImage(
                        GoogleMaterialDesignIcons.CLOSE,
                        MaterialColors.RED_600
                );
snackBar = SnackBar.make(frame, "Swing Snackbar?", close).run();

P.S: In this example is used material-ui-swing to generate the icon, but you can use personal Icons.
