Description

Expected behavior

When showing a Snackbar message on the MainActivity I expect it to comply with the guidelines on the Material Design documentation.

Actual behavior

The Snackbar has an unnecessary padding with a solid background around it and its dismiss animation doesn't feel smooth.

Tested on Motorola One, Android 11

Research direction

Locate MainActivity and its Snackbar usage, then compare the current padding, background, and dismiss animation with the linked Material Design Snackbar guidelines and the attached video. Done means the Snackbar no longer shows the reported unnecessary surrounding padding or solid background and its dismissal feels compliant with the guideline behavior.
