TextViewFlowLayout

Whatsapp and Telegram message layout

If you are wondering how WhatsApp and Telegram handle 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.

Extended FrameLayout that wrap its content when there is no place in the current line.

Demonstration

Usage

In your layout use TextViewFlowLayout as your TextView parent layout:

<com.example.textviewflowlayout.TextViewFlowLayout
    android:layout_width="220dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:paddingStart="4dp"
    android:paddingEnd="4dp"
    android:paddingBottom="4dp">
    
    <TextView
            android:id="@+id/message"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="start"
            android:maxWidth="220dp"
            android:paddingStart="4dp"
            android:paddingEnd="4dp"
            android:text='@{item.message}'
            tools:text="Hello World!"
            tools:visibility="visible" />

        <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatTextView
            android:id="@+id/time"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="end"
            android:gravity="end"
            android:paddingStart="8dp"
            android:paddingEnd="4dp"
            android:text="12:45 AM"
            android:textSize="10sp"
