使用RecyclerView来完成聊天对话框

聊天记录信息类，该类中2个成员变量聊天内容content和信息来源type

public class Msg
{
    public static final int TYPE_RECEIVE = 0;
    public static final int TYPE_SEND = 1;
    private String content;
    private int type;

    public Msg(String content, int type)
    {
        this.content = content;
        this.type = type;
    }

    public String getContent()
    {
        return content;
    }

    public int getType()
    {
        return type;
    }
}

定义一个适配器用于RecyclerView数据适配，根据信息来源不同，选择性显示聊天记录信息

public class MsgAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MsgAdapter.ViewHolder>
{
    List<Msg> msgList;

    @Override
    public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType)
    {
        View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.msg_item, parent, false);
        return new ViewHolder(view);
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position)
    {
        Msg msg = msgList.get(position);
        if (msg.getType() == Msg.TYPE_RECEIVE)
        {
            holder.leftLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            holder.rightLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            holder.leftMsg.setText(msg.getContent());
        } else if (msg.getType() == Msg.TYPE_SEND)
        {
            holder.rightLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            holder.leftLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            holder.rightMsg.setText(msg.getContent());
        }
    }

    public MsgAdapter(List<Msg> msgs)
    {
        this.msgList = msgs;
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount()
    {
        return msgList.size();
    }

    static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder
    {
        LinearLayout leftLayout;
        LinearLayout rightLayout;
        TextView leftMsg;
        TextView rightMsg;

        ViewHolder(View view)
        {
            super(view);
            leftLayout = (LinearLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.left_layout);
            rightLayout = (LinearLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.right_layout);
            leftMsg = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.left_msg);
            rightMsg = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.right_msg);
        }
    }
}

recyclerView项目内容的布局文件，包含一个左边的聊天记录和右边的聊天记录

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/left_layout"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="left"
        android:background="@drawable/left">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/left_msg"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:layout_margin="10dp"/>
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/right_layout"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="right"
        android:background="@drawable/right">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/right_msg"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:layout_margin="10dp"/>
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

项目的布局文件，布局文件中有一个recyclerView、EditText和一个Button用于信息发送触发事件

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:background="#d8e0e8">

    <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/msg_recyclerView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"/>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/input_text"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:hint="Type something here"
            android:maxLines="2"/>

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/btnSend"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Send"/>
    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

MainActivity活动内的代码代码如下

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
{
    List<Msg> msgList = new ArrayList<>();
    EditText inputText;
    Button btnSend;
    RecyclerView recyclerView;
    private MsgAdapter adapter;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        initMsg();
        btnSend = (Button) this.findViewById(R.id.btnSend);
        inputText = (EditText) this.findViewById(R.id.input_text);
        recyclerView = (RecyclerView) this.findViewById(R.id.msg_recyclerView);
        LinearLayoutManager linearLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
        recyclerView.setLayoutManager(linearLayoutManager);
        adapter = new MsgAdapter(msgList);
        recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
        btnSend.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
        {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view)
            {
                String content = inputText.getText().toString().trim();
                if (!content.equals(""))
                {
                    msgList.add(new Msg(content, Msg.TYPE_SEND));
                    adapter.notifyItemInserted(msgList.size() - 1);
                    recyclerView.scrollToPosition(msgList.size() - 1);
                    inputText.setText("");
                }
            }
        });
    }

    private void initMsg()
    {
        Msg msg1 = new Msg("hello sealong", Msg.TYPE_RECEIVE);
        msgList.add(msg1);
        Msg msg2 = new Msg("hello peipei", Msg.TYPE_SEND);
        msgList.add(msg2);
        Msg msg = new Msg("What are you doing", Msg.TYPE_RECEIVE);
        msgList.add(msg);
    }
}

数据集更改后，通知适配器有更改，并且将RecyclerView的滚动条滑到最后一个元素

 adapter.notifyItemInserted(msgList.size() - 1);
 recyclerView.scrollToPosition(msgList.size() - 1);
