I'm new to your great libraries and I have a hard time making up what each library does.
Screenshots might help a lot.

Cheers,

As the title stats, when an AlertDialog is showing and MessageBar(...) is called, the MessageBar is always displayed behind the dimmed background of the AlertDialog.

I think this has to be fixed because a Toast is able to be displayed above/infront of an AlertDialog.

I tried playing around with the internal mContainer View by calling the View.bringToFront() method, but that didn't work either.

It doesn't work. The log shows that NullPointerException occurs at "new MessageBar(this)" in the sample project. I don't understand why. My device is Samsung GT-7562. Does anybody other encounter trouble like this?

This is a neat library, but one thing that would really make it more useful is the ability to pass in a style. For example, maybe I want red messagebars for errors.. green for confirmations.. and grey for general messages?

Theres no easy way to mix and match right now, because you're tied to what you do in the style that you declare for the activity.

I embed the MessageBar in an Fragment. It works fine at first. But when I switch out and in to the same Fragment again. An empty MessageBar displays at the bottom of the screen and never disappears. I have no clue how to fix this.

Is it because in Fragment you can't construct a MessageBar instance using MessageBar mb = new MessageBar(getActivity()); ? I note in the doc it says that in Fragment you have to use a different method. But after following the doc and run the app, it crashes and reports a bug in init() of MessageBar saying that "layout_width" attribute not provided...

In the sample I noticed that there is no demo showing how to use one in Fragment. Would you please complete the demo? Thank you!

Calling MessageBar messageBar = new MessageBar(this); from an activity extending ActionBarActivity (Support Library v7) gives an XML Inflating error:

Binary XML file line #25: Error inflating class android.support.v7.internal.widget.ActionBarView

It seems that by "injecting" the message layout into the activity layout breaks the ActionBarView layout, thus causing the error.

I've tried the same with a regular activity and it works.
Can you give it a try and see if it works on your side?

I was clicking the button on the toast during the fade out animation and I got this:

You handle the case that the actionMessage is null and only show the text in that case. Could you also add the opposite? If the message is null, the button will take the full width of the MessageBar.
