How to handle Emoji picker layout coordination with KeyboardStickyView

[ForgQi]

Thank you for your amazing work on this library! It has been very helpful.

I am trying to implement a Telegram-like message input component. I have a specific scenario regarding the coordination between the system keyboard and a custom Emoji picker:

• I am using freeze to lock the layout when the keyboard rises, and I manually set the height for KeyboardStickyView during this state. This part works great.
• When the keyboard is not visible and the user clicks the "Emoji" button, I need the message list and input area to offset upwards (avoiding the emoji picker), just as they would avoid the system keyboard. I'm not entirely sure how to trigger this avoidance manually.
• Furthermore, when the emoji button is clicked, its icon changes into a "Keyboard" button. Coordinating this smooth transition (switching between the System Keyboard and the custom Emoji panel back and forth) is quite complex and highly prone to layout flickering / UI jumping.
  What is the best practice to manually trigger or simulate the "keyboard avoidance" behavior for a custom component like an emoji picker?

Request:
Could you please provide a minimal example in the documentation or a demo on how to implement an Emoji Picker that integrates seamlessly with KeyboardStickyView?

Specifically, how to make the KeyboardStickyView recognize the emoji picker's height as if it were a keyboard height, and how to coordinate the layout to avoid flickering when toggling the states.

This would be extremely helpful for beginners and developers building chat interfaces. Thank you for your time and effort!

Hey @ForgQi

Do I correctly understand that you are using KeyboardStickyView and its freeze property, right? The issue is only in fact that:

• you would like to freeze KeyboardStickyView too;
• you would like to adjust its position too (even when it's frozen);

But the idea is really great, thank you for suggesting it! I'll consider to implement it in demo app and add the requested functionality in the package 🙌

Thank you for the quick follow-up!
Currently, my manual implementation logic is a bit messy.I'm very excited to hear that you'll consider adding this to the demo and the package. It will be a lifesaver for many developers. I'm looking forward to your example/implementation in the demo app. Thank you again!
