Answer 1

The easiest way to handle it is to check the source code of your Android application. Assuming you have a text view and button in Snackbar, you should be able to find smth like this:

<view
    class="android.support.design.internal.SnackbarContentLayout"
    >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/snackbar_text"/>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/snackbar_action"
        android:visibility="gone"/>
</view>

If id is not in place, I suggest to add them by yourself. Now you should be able to spot your snack bar, get the text or click the button:

FluentWait<WebDriver> wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10, 100).ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);
wait.until(visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("snackbar_text")));
