android - Moving Floating Action Button up and down to avoid getting blocked by a snackbar

Question

I'm using this library to implement a floating action bar and I can't seem to find a way to move the button when a snackbar appears on screen. Is it even possible with that library?

To anyone looking out for answer in future..

Coordinator Layout used as Parent Layout of Floating Action Button will handle the animation effect for you automatically.

The floating action button has a default behavior that detects Snackbar views being added and animates the button above the height of the Snackbar accordingly.

Floating Action Button Behavior

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/clayout">
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
    android:id="@+id/fab_btn"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom|right"
    android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
    android:src="@drawable/filter_icon"
    app:rippleColor="@color/colorGray"
    app:fabSize="normal"
    app:borderWidth="0dp"/>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Then our SnackBar code would use Coordinatorlayout[here clayout] as parentlayout like below:

Snackbar.make(clayout, "Click on row to know more details", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
                    .setAction("OK", new View.OnClickListener() {
                        @Override
                        public void onClick(View v) {

                        }
                    }).show();
