Android's Snackbar doesn't play nice with translucent navigation. This adds a view below the Snackbar, adds a bottom margin with height = navBarHeight to the Snackbar and animates the view in before the Snackbar animates in. It animates out once the Snackbar is off the window. In action: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/109720416927515295704/a…
