import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:battle_search_overlay/battle_search_overlay.dart';

class Battle extends StatefulWidget {
  const Battle({super.key});

  @override
  State<Battle> createState() => _BattleState();
}

class _BattleState extends State<Battle> {
  bool _showSearching = false;

  final me = {
    'name': 'You',
    'image': 'https://media.tenor.com/zt-PcMT2y3kAAAAe/war-hrithik-roshan.png',
  };

  final users = List.generate(20, (index) {
    return {
      'name': 'User ${index + 1}',
      'image': 'https://images.hindustantimes.com/rf/image_size_640x362/HT/p1/2015/04/03/Incoming/Pictures/1333507_Wallpaper2.jpg',
    };
  });

  void _toggleSearching() {
    setState(() {
      _showSearching = !_showSearching;
    });
  }

  void _handleTimeout() async {
    // Step 1: Hide the overlay
    setState(() => _showSearching = false);
    if (!mounted) return;
    // Below mounted you can use your methods or Functionality
    // if data gets you call this
    VsOverlayUtils.show(
      context: context,
      me: me,
      opponent: {'name': 'Nitish Nanda','image': 'https://images.hindustantimes.com/rf/image_size_640x362/HT/p1/2015/04/03/Incoming/Pictures/1333507_Wallpaper2.jpg',},
    );

          body: Center(
            child: ElevatedButton(
