Creating iPhone style bubble list view in android

Question

I am creating a chat application the interacts between two users. I want to show the interaction between the users in the form of a iPhone bubble list view...

I found a tutorial that shows to create a bubble list in IOS... Here's the link......

I have seen lot of Android applications that display the bubble list view like Handcent sms etc. I am also sure that some developers here may have a clue about doing it... I would be grateful if any one direct me towards a tutorial or some samples of achieving the task...

Answer 1

You want something like this?

Click on the screen shots.

that is a twitter application that presents tweets in a bubble like format.

You'll have to implement a custom adapter for you ListView, where inside the getView() method, you can control how each row is drawn.

Implement different custom layouts for even-odd rows and you can something like this.
