Chat message of sender should be on right

[yhdesai]

It should use the item_message_right.xml if the message is sent by the same user as in the device

Hi @yhdesai, I tried to solve this issue. But I observed that some DeveloperMessage object having uid null. I tested them on Log and saw they are having null uid.

.......and so on

That's why app was crashing earlier. Then I updated the code as below...

        if (convertView == null) {
            FirebaseUser user = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser();
            assert user != null;
            String uid = user.getUid();
            if (message.getUid() != null) {
                if (message.getUid().equals(uid)) {
                    convertView = ((Activity) getContext()).getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.item_message_right, parent, false);
                } else {
                    convertView = ((Activity) getContext()).getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.item_message, parent, false);
                }
            } else {
                convertView = ((Activity) getContext()).getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.item_message, parent, false);

            }
        }

After doing this, finally, I run the app and see...

This was just a temporary adjustment to avoid NullPointerException. But later, you will have to clean up the Database.

Another Change: Here, I have replaced ImageView with CircleImageView (created new class) to display a profile image in Circle Shape

I think this issue is solved now!
