Android SnackBar giving exception and not working

Question

I have tried new Snackbar from the official design library provided by Google. I have downloaded new Design library through SDK and put it into libs folder. I am using eclipse and whenever I tried to run it it gives exception. I don't want to use any extra third party library other then Google.

java code

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.design.widget.Snackbar;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;


public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity  {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        findViewById(R.id.button1).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Snackbar.make(v, "hello", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
                        .setAction("Action!", new View.OnClickListener() {
                            @Override
                            public void onClick(View v) {
                                // NOP
                            }
                        })
                        .show();
            }
        });

    }

            android:text="@string/hello_world" />

        <Button

            android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/textView1"

            android:text="Button" />
    </LinearLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

Android SnackBar: error inflating SnackbarLayout

Answer 1

Solved! Firstly i removed the android-support-v4.jar from libs folder from project and then added the android-support-design library with resources[also added the support library]. After that project properties->Android->Add->Support-design library.

Answer 2

No need to remove android-support-v4.jar.

Right click on Project->BuildPath->Configure Buildpath Click on Libraries Tab and then click on Add external Libraries.

Select {path of adt}/sdk/extras/android/support/design/libs Select android-support-design.jar, Click Open to add this library.

Click Ok. This worked for me.
