Snackbar with API 21

Question

I'm trying to implement the new Snackbars in my app but I can't. First of all I downloaded the zip file from this SnackBarSampleActivity.
I unziped it and then I import it in Eclipse. Now I get an error retrieving parent... for the theme parent in styles.xml.
I change it to android:Theme.Light and the error was gone. I right clicked the project and checked isLibrary in Properties/Android, I right clicked my app and in Properties/Android I add the library. Finally I paste the code to show a Snackbar but I get an error because Snackbar cannot be resolved.
Please somebody help me! I'm going crazy, what am I doing wrong?

With the new Design Support Library you can use the official SnackBar Widget.

Just add this dependency to your app -> build.gradle:

implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'

And use something like:

Snackbar.make(view, "Snackbar", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Full Example, In Kotlin

        val fab = findViewById(R.id.btn_signin) as Button
        fab.setOnClickListener(View.OnClickListener { view ->
            Snackbar.make(view, "FloatingActionButton is clicked", Snackbar.LENGTH_INDEFINITE)
                    .setAction("Action", null).show()
        })
