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

Question

I was wondering how WhatsApp handles the time shown in every message.

For those who don\'t know:

1. If the message is very short, the text and time are in

Answer 1

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.
