ListView inflating issue

Question

I'm building an sms app, and need to show the view according to Incoming/Outgoing sms. I'm facing the following issue, in my getView(..) I need to know if it's Incoming/Outgoing and then to show the following:

Incoming VIEW

Outgoing VIEW

enter image description here

But i can't think of a way to implement 1 view to handle this (because of the recycling in listview).

I thought of using setLayoutDirection in a LinearLayout, or maybe removeViews and then add them in correct position. Can you please assist me with the best way with the less performance?

Thanks very much

You can override the getViewType method in order to precise how many kind of rows you listview has.

Have a look here.

Yeah i've been thinking of this, but isn't this option has high performance? also, second time the view already inflated with RTL and its not null and I need to change it to LTR, this isn't help me much

Sorry, but i don't know if it has high performance ! I don't think also that there is another solution to have different rows in a list, without overriding this method ! Just respect the recycling pattern and let android do the rest for you :)

Not that good, it's only changing the background, i have several views which need layout direction change also.

You can build your list item that you just need to adjust the gravity/text/image for recycled view

That's not possible, i need to change the direction of all view, not just left/right gravity and bg image...

I don't understand how it's not possible, RelativeLayout as ViewGroup and alignParentLeft/alignParentRight with toLeftOf and toRightOf? Can you post better image of your cases?
