Your App is really cool, helped me make a lot of decisions on mine. Wanted to find out how to handle a two way chat with the ability to add more later. Like a channel of two users that allows me to add more users later. Hope am making sense. Regards.

Hi!

Our current intention is for you to simply provide add Message objects to the fragment. Different external users are differentiated by different user IDs and different avatar URL's. When there's a new message in the list that's authored by a different user than the preceding message, even if both messages are from an external user, the new message should be considered part of a new sequence (with an avatar indicating who it is).

Does this answer your question?
