Whatsapp Message Layout - How to get time-view in the same row - android

I was wondering how WhatsApp handles the time shown in every message.
For those who don't know:
If the message is very short, the text and time are in the same row.
If the message is long, the time is in the bottom right corner - the text wrapped around it.
With a RelativeLayout and toLeftOf I would get 1) but not 2) as previous lines would be "cut off" at the position of the time view. Same behaviour If i use a LinearLayout.
So I tried to use a FrameLayout or a RelativeLayout without any connection between text and time.
However, if the text is as long as the message-view is big, both views would overlap.
If I put blank characters to my message I wouldn't have the time on the right.
Do they really have some kind of text-wrapping-lib for this or is it possible to do only with layouts?
Here is the requested screenshot:

#Hisham Muneer 's answer very good.
But there are some problems. For example:
If the TextView has 2 full lines (end to end), the text will
intersect with datetime text layout. Finally, the views will
look like onion effect.
The text line wraps can't works efficiently. You must control this
lines and relocate the datetime view.
I'm going to share my solution, if you will need like this problem.

You can modify layout xml and some sections related your scenario.
There are 2 important point: you must define in layout xml "viewPartMain", "viewPartSlave" attributes. Because the code will decide measure via your main(chat textview) and slave(datetime text view) elements.
I wish have good days. Greets.

Adding HTML non-breaking spaces did the trick. Tested the code on most devices and working absolutely fine. Maybe whatsapp is also doing the same thing. Below is the chat code:
See images below to see it working.

txtMsgFrom.setText(Html.fromHtml(convertToHtml(txtMsgFrom.getText().toString()) + "         ")); // 10 spaces

Its easier with Unicode from here.
So with this you can archive the Unicode format
new TextView("Hello\u00A0world");
better than HTML string.

Based on #Sinan Ergin answer but slightly improved:
less layouts
simplified gravity + layout_gravity usage
left + right layout files
FrameLayout instead of RelativeLayout
converted to Kotlin

I propose another solution
public static final String TAG = "MainActivity";
private TextView mText;
private RelativeLayout relativeLayout;
private Boolean mFirstTime = true;
private static final int WIDH_HOUR = 382;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
final int width = getScreensWidh();
mText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.activity_main_text);
relativeLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.activity_main_relative);
mText.setText("aaaaa dfsafsa afdsfa fdsafas adfas fdasf adfsa dsa aaaa dfsafsa afdsfa fdsafas adfas fdasf adfsa");
ViewTreeObserver vto = mText.getViewTreeObserver();
vto.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
if (mFirstTime) {
Layout layout = mText.getLayout();
int lines = layout.getLineCount();
int offset = layout.layout.getLineWidth(lines - 1);
int freeSpace = width - offset;
TextView hour = new TextView(MainActivity.this);
hour.setText("12:20");
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT);
if (freeSpace > WIDH_HOUR) {
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_BOTTOM, R.id.activity_main_text);
} else {
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, R.id.activity_main_text);
}
hour.setLayoutParams(params);
relativeLayout.addView(hour);
Log.d(TAG, String.valueOf(freeSpace));
mFirstTime = false;
}
}
});
}
public int getScreensWidh() {
Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
Point size = new Point();
display.getSize(size);
return size.x;
}
Two Public Methods
public abstract int getLineCount ()
Return the number of lines of text in this layout.
public int getLineWidth(int line)
Gets the unsigned horizontal extent of the specified line, including leading margin indent and trailing whitespace.

You can use the layout and code below to achieve the desired effect.
Source code gist
What I have used is get the width of the text + the time layout and check if this exceeds the container layout width, and adjust the height of the container accordingly. We have to extend from FrameLayout since this is the one which allows overlapping of two child views.
This is tested to be working on English locale. Suggestions and improvements are always welcome :)
Hope I've helped someone looking for the same solution.

I guess the easiest way to achieve this kind oflayout would be to add enough blank space in your message to be sure there is enough space on the right to not cover the time (I don't see any other easy way to have a margin/padding/positioning for the last line of your text only)
Then you just place the time in the relative as an align bottom right

I suggest other solution. If you know max bubble width and time width, then you can precalculate how to place your views.
Layout:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="12sp"
tools:text="This is text"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/time"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="10sp"
tools:text="10:10"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Code:
fun setTextAndTime(textView: TextView, timeView: TextView, text: String, time: String) {
// screen width - offset from bubble
val maxWidth: Int = Resources.getSystem().displayMetrics.widthPixels - context.resources.getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.bubble_offset)
val timeWidth: Int = getTextWidth(time, 10f)
textView.text = text
timeView.text = time
textView.measure(makeMeasureSpec(maxWidth, EXACTLY), makeMeasureSpec(0, UNSPECIFIED))
val offset = textView.layout.getLineWidth(textView.layout.lineCount - 1)
val freeSpace = maxWidth - offset
val moveTimestampBelow = freeSpace < timeWidth
val multilineContent = textView.layout.lineCount > 1
val params = RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)
when {
moveTimestampBelow -> params.apply {
addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, textView.id)
addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT)
}
multilineContent -> params.apply {
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_BOTTOM, textView.id)
addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT)
}
else -> params.apply {
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_BOTTOM, textView.id)
addRule(RelativeLayout.END_OF, textView.id)
}
}
timeView.layoutParams = params
}
private fun getTextWidth(text: String, textSizeSp: Float): Int {
val textPaint = Paint()
val pxSize = TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, textSizeSp, context.resources.displayMetrics)
textPaint.textSize = pxSize
textPaint.style = Paint.Style.FILL
val result = Rect()
textPaint.getTextBounds(text, 0, text.length, result)
return result.width()
}

The previous answers didn't satisfy my needs as they were too complex and the scrolling on RecyclerView was way too slow! I could feel the stutter while scrolling. So, I modified #Rahul Shuklas answer to make it more efficient. I am sharing my result below. The code is self explanatory, I have added comments for more understandability.
class ChatBubbleLayout : FrameLayout {
constructor(context: Context) : super(context) {}
constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet) : super(context, attrs) {}
constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet, defStyleAttr: Int) : super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr) {}
#TargetApi(21)
constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet, defStyleAttr: Int, defStyleRes: Int) : super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes) {
}
override fun onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec: Int, heightMeasureSpec: Int) {
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec)
doMeasure()
}
private fun doMeasure() {
val messageTextView = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.tv_message)
val dateTextView = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.tv_message_time)
// Message line count
val lineCount = messageTextView.lineCount
// Message padding
val messageTextViewPadding = messageTextView.paddingLeft + messageTextView.paddingRight
// First / Second last line of message
val lastLineStart = messageTextView.layout.getLineStart(lineCount - 1)
val lastLineEnd = messageTextView.layout.getLineEnd(lineCount - 1)
// Width of First / Second last line of message
var desiredWidth = Layout.getDesiredWidth(messageTextView.text.subSequence(lastLineStart,
lastLineEnd), messageTextView.paint).toInt()
var desiredHeight = measuredHeight
if (desiredWidth < minimumWidth && messageTextView.measuredWidth < minimumWidth) {
// Probably a small or single line message
desiredWidth = minimumWidth + messageTextViewPadding
} else {
// Probably a bit long or multiple line message
desiredWidth = messageTextView.measuredWidth + messageTextViewPadding
}
if(desiredHeight < minimumHeight) {
desiredHeight = minimumHeight
}
setMeasuredDimension(desiredWidth, desiredHeight)
}
}

Recyclerview horizontal with a bottom line indicator

I have a horizontal recycleview which can scroll & snap center. Then I want a bottom line indicator to indicate selected item when click on it. It looks like this:
I had a look at this library but it doesn't fit my requirements.
Is there idea to implement this one?
Update: I need to keep the indicator is always visible and has a smooth scroll when moving to another position like above gift
You can try the following code:

How to build a Horizontal ListView with RecyclerView?
check the answer of "Suragch" and plus addition to that answer
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="10dp">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
//use your entire xml code here plus place a image view as
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below = "id of the date circle"
android:background = "add a line of length according to your requirement in drawables and assign here"
android:visibility="set to invisible"/>
/RelativeLayout>
then inside of onClick() method inside ViewHolder class set the visibilty of the ImageView to visible by Calling imageView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE) and callnotifyDataSetChanged()
Hope it is helping...
You can change indicator position by trigger the RecycleView item selected change. For item selected change, you can use a variable to keep the selected position in adapter. When user fling the RecycleView, use have calculate selected position based on position of indicator.

How to create ListView item that match material guideline

How to create ListView like this,
google has documentation about this,
https://material.io/guidelines/layout/metrics-keylines.html#metrics-keylines-keylines-spacing
But there is no explaination how to make this,
Here is my attempt so far, I'm not sure about the margin/padding and the separator, is there any tutorial how to make this layout
This is the RecyclerView item layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</RelativeLayout>
To get partial divider (or whatever the name) I use this:
create a class extend RecyclerView.ItemDecoration
public class RecyclerViewItemDivider extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {
private static final int[] ATTRS = new int[]{android.R.attr.listDivider};
private Drawable mDivider;
public RecyclerViewItemDivider(Context context) {
final TypedArray a = context.obtainStyledAttributes(ATTRS);
mDivider = a.getDrawable(0);
a.recycle();
}
#Override
public void onDrawOver(Canvas c, RecyclerView parent, RecyclerView.State state) {
// this is the left start point for divider,
// I think there is better method without hardcoded the view
// main_content is my RectclerView item main content
// R.dimen.activity_horizontal_margin should be 16dp if use google guidelines
int left = (int)parent.findViewById(R.id.main_content).getX() +
(int)parent.getContext().getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.activity_horizontal_margin);
int right = parent.getWidth() - parent.getPaddingRight();
int childCount = parent.getChildCount();
for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++) {
View child = parent.getChildAt(i);
RecyclerView.LayoutParams params = (RecyclerView.LayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams();
int top = child.getBottom() + params.bottomMargin;
int bottom = top + mDivider.getIntrinsicHeight();
mDivider.setBounds(left, top, right, bottom);
mDivider.draw(c);
}
}
}
Then you just need to use it like this:
RecyclerViewItemDivider divider = new RecyclerViewItemDivider(recyclerView.getContext());
recyclerView.addItemDecoration(divider);

You can change the textSize based on number of character or width of text via java code.

Android: can height of SlidingDrawer be set with wrap_content?

I'm trying to implement a SlidingDrawer that will occupy the full screen width, but whose height is determined dynamically by its contents: in other words, standard fill_parent layout behaviour for the width and wrap_content for the height. That's exactly how I've specified it in the layout XML (see below) but the sliding drawer always opens to the full screen height. The height of my content varies, but typically it's only about half the screen height, so I end up with a big gap underneath it. What I'd like is for the content to sit neatly on the bottom of the screen.
I've tried everything I can think of to fix it but nothing's worked so far. If I set the SlidingDrawer's layout_height to a specific value (e.g. 160dip) it works, but that's not what I need: it has to be dynamic. Of course I've made sure all the child elements have their height set to wrap_content too.
The documentation on SlidingDrawer is a bit vague on this and I haven't been able to find any examples that do what I'm after either. If anyone can see where I'm going wrong I'd really appreciate your help!

The onMeasure() method of the SlidingDrawer class basically overrides the layout modes to fill_parent, this is why layout_height="wrap_content" is not working.
To get around this, you can extend SlidingDrawer with a re-implemented onMeasure() method that honors the layout_width and layout_height attributes. You can then use this custom class in your XML layout by replacing <SlidingDrawer ...> with <fully.qualified.package.ClassName ...>.
Note that since the drawer will no longer be filling the parent layout, you will have to enclose it in a LinearLayout with the gravity attribute set to the edge where the drawer should be.
Below are a class I have created for this purpose and an example layout.
WrappingSlidingDrawer class :
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.SlidingDrawer;
public class WrappingSlidingDrawer extends SlidingDrawer {
public WrappingSlidingDrawer(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
int orientation = attrs.getAttributeIntValue("android", "orientation", ORIENTATION_VERTICAL);
mTopOffset = attrs.getAttributeIntValue("android", "topOffset", 0);
mVertical = (orientation == SlidingDrawer.ORIENTATION_VERTICAL);
}
public WrappingSlidingDrawer(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
int orientation = attrs.getAttributeIntValue("android", "orientation", ORIENTATION_VERTICAL);
mTopOffset = attrs.getAttributeIntValue("android", "topOffset", 0);
mVertical = (orientation == SlidingDrawer.ORIENTATION_VERTICAL);
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
int widthSpecMode = MeasureSpec.getMode(widthMeasureSpec);
int widthSpecSize = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
int heightSpecMode = MeasureSpec.getMode(heightMeasureSpec);
int heightSpecSize = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
if (widthSpecMode == MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED || heightSpecMode == MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED) {
throw new RuntimeException("SlidingDrawer cannot have UNSPECIFIED dimensions");
}
final View handle = getHandle();
final View content = getContent();
measureChild(handle, widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
if (mVertical) {
int height = heightSpecSize - handle.getMeasuredHeight() - mTopOffset;
content.measure(widthMeasureSpec, MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(height, heightSpecMode));
heightSpecSize = handle.getMeasuredHeight() + mTopOffset + content.getMeasuredHeight();
widthSpecSize = content.getMeasuredWidth();
if (handle.getMeasuredWidth() > widthSpecSize) widthSpecSize = handle.getMeasuredWidth();
}
else {
int width = widthSpecSize - handle.getMeasuredWidth() - mTopOffset;
getContent().measure(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(width, widthSpecMode), heightMeasureSpec);
widthSpecSize = handle.getMeasuredWidth() + mTopOffset + content.getMeasuredWidth();
heightSpecSize = content.getMeasuredHeight();
if (handle.getMeasuredHeight() > heightSpecSize) heightSpecSize = handle.getMeasuredHeight();
}
setMeasuredDimension(widthSpecSize, heightSpecSize);
}
private boolean mVertical;
private int mTopOffset;
}
Example layout (assuming WrappingSlidingDrawer is in package com.package) :
<FrameLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
... stuff you want to cover at full-size ...
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="bottom"
android:orientation="vertical">
<com.package.WrappingSlidingDrawer android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:content="#+id/content"
android:handle="#+id/handle">
... handle and content views ...
</com.package.WrappingSlidingDrawer>
</LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>
just set to pmargin in sliding drawer in your xml
android:layout_marginTop="50dip"
seydhe's answer has a small issue.
The first argument to the getAttributeIntValue needs to be the full namespace, not just "android". So the code snippet should be:
final String xmlns="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
int orientation = attrs.getAttributeIntValue(xmlns, "orientation", SlidingDrawer.ORIENTATION_VERTICAL);
mTopOffset = attrs.getAttributeIntValue(xmlns, "topOffset", 0);
I was having trouble getting this to work with a horizontal sliding drawer until I realized that it was not finding the orientation attribute and was therefore treating it as vertical.
it is better to read the parameter without hardcoding the string:
int attrOrientation = android.R.attr.orientation;
int attrTopOffset = android.R.attr.topOffset;
int[] attrIds = new int [] {attrOrientation, attrTopOffset};
TypedArray a = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, attrIds);
int orientation = a.getInt(0, SlidingDrawer.ORIENTATION_VERTICAL);
topOffset = a.getDimension(1, 0);
a.recycle();
isVertical = (orientation == SlidingDrawer.ORIENTATION_VERTICAL);
Another issus is in the onMeasure.
I used the following code:
if (isVertical) {
int height = heightSpecSize - handle.getMeasuredHeight() - topOffset;
getContent().measure(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(widthSpecSize, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED), MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(height, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY));
heightSpecSize = handle.getMeasuredHeight() + topOffset + content.getMeasuredHeight();
widthSpecSize = content.getMeasuredWidth();
if (handle.getMeasuredWidth() > widthSpecSize) widthSpecSize = handle.getMeasuredWidth();
} else {
int width = widthSpecSize - handle.getMeasuredWidth() - topOffset;
getContent().measure(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(width, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY), MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(heightSpecSize, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
widthSpecSize = handle.getMeasuredWidth() + topOffset + content.getMeasuredWidth();
heightSpecSize = content.getMeasuredHeight();
if (handle.getMeasuredHeight() > heightSpecSize) heightSpecSize = handle.getMeasuredHeight();
}
unfortunately you can't set the height, but rather the opposite of that. the topOffset attribute will determine how tall to make the sliding drawer, but its what to shave off rather than how tall it will be.
It works for me:
private SlidingDrawer rightSlidingPanel = null;
#Override
public void onCreate( Bundle savedInstanceState )
{
...
rightSlidingPanel = (SlidingDrawer) findViewById( R.id.rightSlidingPanel );
rightSlidingPanel.post( new Runnable()
{
#Override
public void run()
{
rightSlidingPanel.getLayoutParams().width = findViewById( R.id.sliding_content2 ).getMeasuredWidth() + findViewById( R.id.sliding_handle ).getMeasuredWidth();
}
});
}
XML Layout:
...
<SlidingDrawer
android:id="#+id/rightSlidingPanel"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"

...
