Chat Layout about chatkit HOT 8 CLOSED

Thanks for your replies @mradzinski !
Unlike your solution, I've added overloading for setAdapter method in DialogsList and MessagesList, with which you can set reverse mode to false (due to versioning).
Please, update library version to 0.2.1

I was facing the same issue since yesterday where the dialogs in my dialogList were appearing from bottom. Thanks to this issue raised by @uaeuae , I finally got it working the desired way by overriding default reverse mode to false in setAdapter.
I think it'd be great if you add this in your documentation as well @troy379

Cheers! :)

How about reversing your messages array? AFAIK the messages layout doesn't apply any kind of sorting to the messages it receives, thus you should be totally able to reverse your messages array to make it look the way you want.

Thank you for your replay mradzinski. I think you understood the question wrong. What I meant, currently, the bubbles starts from down (bottom of the screen). What I want the other way around. I want to bubbles to start from top screen like the below screen as the following screenshot.

You are not gonna be able to do it, not without forking your own copy of this repo and changing this line. LinearLayoutManager has the following constructor: LinearLayoutManager(Context context, int orientation, boolean reverseLayout), stfalcon-studio chose to pass true to the reverseLayout parameter and it'll stay true unless you manually modify their code.

I made a PR to close this issue. You can check the solution here: #31

Is there a way to do this that doesn't also reverse the date rows?

@troy379 In adapter reverseLayout = True and when adding messages to list with addToEnd reverse = True. Is there any option when there isn't enough messages to fill the screen that messages doesn't have padding from top?
