The Conversation View now uses a RecyclerView with conversation bubbles in alternating colors and vector drawables to indicate message state.
The conversation bubbles have been taken from Telegram and can be replaced by a UX designer later. There's also a special bubble for unread messages, so they are not overlooked when they come in delayed.
This commit also addresses #9, because message text can now be selected and copied. This is done by using
android:textIsSelectable="true"which only works for API level 11 or higher.
If we want copy and paste on lower API levels, additional measures have to be implemented.
