[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theellucidone:
I am adding custom bubbles to my convo thread and cannot get the sent to do what i want.

The received do not extend the length as that is waht i want

But the sent do. I tried changing the android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"> to false but then my sent messages disappear.

Here is a screen of how it currently looks

any help is much appreciated.

Here is the xml
