This is the Correct Solution of this problem: SnackBar show Above the SoftInput
(Keyboard)
- (when Keyboard is Open)
<activity android:name=".YourActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"/>
tag into your activity tag of the manifest.

Have you initialized your snackbar like below code:
snackbar = Snackbar.make(findViewById(android.R.id.content), <Your message>, Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG);
or you have used your own layout??
Because if we use android's own UI element(android.R.id.content) it manages to show on valid UI of their own. You should first try this.

Put this property in your Manifest file to your proper activity.
<activity android:name=".YourActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"/>

Just Hide the KeyBoard where you call your SnackBar using below code:
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(parentLayout.getWindowToken(), 0); // parentLayout is your main layout of an activity

If your using CoordinatorLayout
with AppBar
and NestedLayout
with EditText
inside, it won't work.
This is a bug in support lib, reported here.
Similar question here.
You can use a workaround by wrapping the CoordinatorLayout
with another Constraint/Relative Layout (PS I've not tried RealtiveLayout but works using ConstraintLayout) and use android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
.
