incoming vs outcoming

[op27no2]

Ok I must be missing something in the instructions/sample.

How do you set whether a message is incoming vs outcoming before adding it to the adapter?

Thanks!

Same here

I just found how it works :
When you create your adapter, the first parameter "senderId" has to be the same id that contains the Author object used as the Sender

Ok, so it works like this - when you create your adapter you give it a tag that is used to subsequently designate a message as 'self' so that it shows up on the self side.

CustomMessageListAdapter adapter = new CustomMessageListAdapter<>("SELF_TAG", imageLoader);

Message mMes2 = new Message("SELF_TAG", mUser2, "message");
adapter.addToStart(mMes2, true);

Message mMes1 = new Message("NOT_SELF", mUser1, "message2");
adapter.addToStart(mMes1, true);

//0 for self message update message id if you successfully send it to server
Message mMes2 = new Message("0", mUser2, "message");
adapter.addToStart(mMes2, true);
//message id for others
Message mMes1 = new Message(mssageid, mUser1, "message2");
adapter.addToStart(mMes1, true);

@tusharuit25 not working, only the colors change, but they stay on the same side

//0 for self message update message id if you successfully send it to server at the place of userid inside your message model
