Youtube Video Adapter

Feature Proposal: YouTube Picture-in-Picture (PiP) Link Adapter

Overview:
I have developed a new feature to improve the media experience within the chat. The goal is to automatically detect YouTube links and render them as interactive, draggable Picture-in-Picture (PiP) elements, rather than just plain text links.

Proposed Implementation:

YouTubeUtil: Created a dedicated utility class to extract YouTube video IDs from various URL formats using regex.
ViewHolder Integration: Updated the ChatMessageViewHolder to intercept YouTube links.
Dynamic UI: If a valid YouTube link is detected, the adapter toggles the view to show a thumbnail preview. Upon clicking, the view transforms into a YouTubePlayerView for direct playback.
Lifecycle Management: Implemented proper view recycling in onViewRecycled to ensure the player releases resources, preventing memory leaks.

Technical Highlights:

Seamless Switching: The UI switches smoothly between text and video content.
Resource Efficiency: Uses Coil for efficient thumbnail loading and proper lifecycle handling for the YouTube player instance.
Maintainability: Decoupled the extraction logic into a clean object utility, making it reusable across the app.

Questions / Feedback:
I would appreciate your feedback on this implementation. Does this align with the project's architecture, or are there specific requirements regarding the player initialization or lifecycle handling that I should adjust?
