Android - How to arrange adapters in position
I created a simple chat app using firebase
but had a little difficulty setting bubble elements for positions left
and right
. Left bubble for another person, right bubble for me.
This is my Adapter :
public class MessageAdapterCustom extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MessageAdapterCustom.MessageViewHolder> {
private List<Messages> mMessageList;
private Context context;
private String mBubblePosition;
public MessageAdapterCustom(Context context, List<Messages> mMessageList, String mBubblePosition) {
this.context = context;
this.mMessageList = mMessageList;
this.mBubblePosition = mBubblePosition;
}
@Override
public MessageViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View v = LayoutInflater.from( parent.getContext() )
.inflate( R.layout.message_single_layout_custom, parent, false );
return new MessageViewHolder( v );
}
public class MessageViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
public TextView messageText;
public CircleImageView profileImage;
public MessageViewHolder(View view) {
super( view );
if(mBubblePosition.equals( "kiri" )) {
RelativeLayout right = (RelativeLayout) view.findViewById( R.id.sendingMessageLayout );
right.setVisibility( View.GONE );
messageText = (TextView) view.findViewById( R.id.message_text_layout_kiri );
profileImage = (CircleImageView) view.findViewById( R.id.message_profile_layout_kiri );
} else {
LinearLayout left = (LinearLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.recievemessageLayout);
left.setVisibility(View.GONE);
messageText = (TextView) view.findViewById( R.id.message_text_layout_kanan );
profileImage = (CircleImageView) view.findViewById( R.id.message_profile_layout_kanan );
}
}
}
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final MessageViewHolder holder, int position) {
final Messages msg = mMessageList.get( position );
holder.messageText.setText( msg.getMessage() );
Picasso.with( context )
.load( msg.getProfile_pic() )
.networkPolicy( NetworkPolicy.OFFLINE )
.into( holder.profileImage );
/*Picasso.with( context )
.load( msg.getProfile_pic() )
.networkPolicy( NetworkPolicy.OFFLINE )
.placeholder( R.drawable.no_profile )
.into( holder.profileImage, new Callback() {
@Override
public void onSuccess() {
}
@Override
public void onError() {
Picasso.with( context )
.load( msg.getProfile_pic() )
.networkPolicy( NetworkPolicy.OFFLINE )
.into( holder.profileImage );
}
} );*/
}
@Override
public int getItemCount() {
return mMessageList.size();
}
}

}
}
You see the line:
if (currentUserID.equals( mCurrentUserID )) {
mAdapterCustom = new MessageAdapterCustom( getApplicationContext(), messagesList, "kanan" );
mMessagesList.setAdapter( mAdapterCustom );
messagesList.add( message );
mAdapterCustom.notifyDataSetChanged();
Log.i( "CHAT_ACTIVITY", "RIGHT" );
} else {
mAdapterCustom = new MessageAdapterCustom( getApplicationContext(), messagesList, "kiri" );
mMessagesList.setAdapter( mAdapterCustom );
messagesList.add( message );
mAdapterCustom.notifyDataSetChanged();
Log.i( "CHAT_ACTIVITY", "LEFT" );
}
When I try to use two devices, first if I try to send a message myself, the log shows right
what the position of the ball on the right means .
But when I respond with different devices (by a different person), the adapter will move two bubbles to the left . It looks like it follows the last command from the adapter.
How do I keep my adapter in position every time I message arrives
change the whole structure of my view elements as shown.

The items in your message list will basically consist of two types: sent and received. Could you make your data model so that they define their types, and in onCreateViewHolder()
you you have a different viewer for each type. In onBindViewHolder()
you need to bind your views again by element type.
I modified Naveen's example a bit:
interface MsgType {
int TYPE_SENT = 1;
int TYPE_RECEIVED = 2;
}
class Msg implements MsgType
{
String text ;
int type;
public Msg(String text, int type) {
// set
}
public String getText() {
return text;
}
public int getType() {
return type;
}
}
public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder> {
List<Msg> msgs;
class SentMsgVH extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
...
public SentMsgVH(View itemView){
...
}
}
class ReceivedMsgVh extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
...
public ReceivedMsgVh(View itemView){
...
}
@Override
public int getItemViewType(int position) {
return msgs.get(position).getType();
}
@Override
public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View v;
switch (viewType) {
case TYPE_SENT:
v = ... ; // inflate view
return new SentMsgVH(v);
case TYPE_RECEIVED:
v = ...; // inflate view
return new ReceivedMsgVh(v);
}
}
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, final int position) {
switch (getItemViewType(position)) {
case TYPE_SENT:
ViewHolder0 viewHolder0 = (SentMsgVH)holder;
...
break;
case TYPE_RECEIVED:
ViewHolder2 viewHolder2 = (ReceivedMsgVh)holder;
...
break;
}
}
}
In your respective viewers, you have to inflate the correct layout to suit your needs.
