FIXED: Google Inbox snackbar covering keyboard

gloria_dixon

Inbox by Google has a new feature where a snackbar appears when you open the keyboard. The snackbar has your current Inbox by Google account and the option to switch to another account.

I'm curious as to how this feature works and why it was implemented.

Google Inbox's snackbar feature is a great way to alert you of important emails, notifications, and news. It covers up the keyboard when it appears, so you can focus on the content being shown. Here's how it works -

Google Inbox will automatically detect when a new email, notification, or news update arrives in your inbox.
The snackbar will appear at the bottom of the browser window, with the content of the notification.
The snackbar will then cover up the keyboard so that you can view the content without being distracted by the keyboard.
Once you've read the content, simply close it and the keyboard will reappear.

Overall, the snackbar feature on Google Inbox helps to keep you informed without pulling your focus away from what you're currently doing. You can learn more about this feature in the official Google Inbox help article: https://support.google.com/inbox/answer/6158893?hl=en

The snackbar feature on Google Inbox is used to display contextual information and other stylish dialogues in an unobtrusive way. It is used to provide message notifications at the bottom of the screen, and covers the keyboard so that the user knows to take action on the message.

Here are some main points on how the snackbar works in Google Inbox:

Snackbar covers the active keyboard when it is displayed.
The snackbar appears at the bottom of the screen and offers contextual information or advice.
It disappears after a few seconds, when the keyboard is dismissed or when a user takes action on the snackbar.
The snackbar is displayed when the user swipes left or right on a message.

This feature is useful for displaying notifications in an unobtrusive way, as it appears quickly and offers the user advice or a message quickly, without obscuring the whole screen.
