Hi everybody. What layout should I use if I want to implement something like in a sms application ? I mean
• the dates are printed in the center
• the incoming messages are on the left
• the outcoming messages are on the right
Is it possible to achieve something like this with a RecyclerView and a StaggeredGridLayoutManager (or LinearLayoutManager ) ?

I was thinking of a LinearLayoutManager where, for each row, I adapt the content of the line. Is that easily reachable ?

Let's keep this workspace clean by not violating the rules, alright? General Android questions are not permitted here.

While you probably cannot go to StackOverflow with this (SO does not permit opinion-based content), there are options, such as the r/androiddev subreddit, or its Discord server.

Please do not post questions of this type in this channel.
