Hey sorry, I'm not actively doing android development and the moment so I can't help out - I'd see if there's an equivalent way to do as recommended by the library

To programmatically do slideUp and slideDown just like with the official HideBottomViewOnScrollBehavior

class BottomNavigationBehavior<V : View>(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet) :
    CoordinatorLayout.Behavior<V>(context, attrs) {

    @ViewCompat.NestedScrollType
    private var lastStartedType: Int = 0

    private var offsetAnimator: ValueAnimator? = null

    private var isSnappingEnabled = true

    @SuppressLint("RestrictedApi")

        if (dependency is Snackbar.SnackbarLayout) {
            updateSnackbar(child, dependency)
        }
        return super.layoutDependsOn(parent, child, dependency)
    }

    override fun onStartNestedScroll(
        coordinatorLayout: CoordinatorLayout,
        child: V,
        directTargetChild: View,
        target: View,
        axes: Int,
        type: Int
    ): Boolean {
        if (axes != ViewCompat.SCROLL_AXIS_VERTICAL)
            return false

        lastStartedType = type

        offsetAnimator?.cancel()

        return true
    }

    override fun onNestedPreScroll(
        coordinatorLayout: CoordinatorLayout,
        child: V,
