Я нахожусь в процессе написания чата на Android, но у меня возникли проблемы с добавлением чата в мой клиент. Мой экран чата состоит изListView с текстовым полем и кнопкой «Отправить» внизу. Для исходящего сообщения тексты выравниваются вListView ряд. Для входящего сообщения тексты выровнены по правому краю вListView ряд. Тем не менее, размер чата не изменяется в зависимости от длины текстов входящих сообщений. Эта проблема не возникает для выровненного по левому краю исходящего сообщения.

Здесь снимок экрана ниже.

Тексты сообщений чата хранятся в базе данных и отображаются вListView через адаптер курсора. Выравнивание текстов чата определяется на лету в исходном коде Java вMessageAdapter, Оба чата пузыри сделаны с использованием девяти патч изображения Android.

Ниже мой макет активности чата,ListView с проблемойmessageHistoryList:
