plugin.xsnack's Issues

[feature request] multiple actions

This is perhaps non-standard but it would be nice to support 2 action buttons instead of just one.
There are several reasons why a developer might want 2 action buttons (even though this is probably not common it would be nice if it were at least supported)

on the ShowMessage method, The ICommand could be modified to accept a parameter to indicate which action was tapped.

[feature request] stackable snackbar notifiations

This is not standard behavior for snackbars, The default behavior is that only 1 can be shown at any given time.
but it would be nice to support stacking for cases where developers would like to show multiple snackbars at the bottom of the application in a vertical stack.

[feature request] manual snack bar dismissal

We have a use case where a snackbar is displayed based on network connection change events.
The snackbar displays "Please Enable WiFi" and the action navigates the user to their OS Wifi settings.

It would be nice to have a method to manually dismiss the snackbar if the user enables wifi without using the snackbar action button.

NullPointerException thrown on showMessage [Android]

When I try to show a XSnackbar I get a NullPointerException. I'm running on Android, can't test on iOS because I'm on Windows.

Details:

{System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at Plugin.XSnack.XSnackImplementation.DisplayMessage (System.String message, System.Int32 duration, System.String actionText, System.Windows.Input.ICommand actionCommand) [0x00021] in <7951a697453f4916b4eea63c683cfeba>:0
at Plugin.XSnack.XSnackImplementation.ShowMessage (System.String message, System.Int32 duration, System.String actionText, System.Windows.Input.ICommand actionCommand) [0x00000] in <7951a697453f4916b4eea63c683cfeba>:0
at App1.MainPage.ShowMessage (System.String text) [0x00019] in \MainPage.xaml.cs:48 }

Code:

if (Plugin.XSnack.CrossXSnack.IsSupported && Plugin.XSnack.CrossXSnack.Current != null)
{
    try
    {
        Plugin.XSnack.CrossXSnack.Current.ShowMessage(text);
    }
    catch (Exception e) {
        Console.WriteLine(e);
    }
}

[feature request] timeout callback / command

The action command is only invoked when the user taps the action button.
It would be nice to also have a timeout command or event to notify the consumer logic if the snackbar notification timed out instead of being manually dismissed by the user tapping the action button

Add customization options

We need to implement

• Text color
• Action text color
• Action background color styling.
• Snackbar background color

UWP implementation

We need something similar to the Snackbar implementation for UWP.
I am not UWP developer and I've searched a bit to find the Flyout control, but I'm not sure that's the right way to go.

Any suggestions on this?
