You can create 3 xml drawable:

  • one for first message with left-bottom, left-top and right-top border radius
  • second for inner messages with left-bottom and left-top border radius
  • third for last message with left-bottom, left-top and right-bottom border radius

now in your adapter you can decide which drawable to use depending on the previus and next message of your adapters message list

For example if previus messages of current message in adapter is not from current user(the user who logged in to app), so you should choose the first drawable. And if the previus messages in adapter is from current user, so you should choose second second drawable. And if the previus message is from current user and the next message is not, so you should use third drawable
