Context:
I am building a chat app, I used code from apple sample.
It looks exactly like the native message app. My issue is on the iPad version I am implementing.
Here's an image:
As you can see in the image, I need it the righ ballon to be on the right edge of the screen
I track down the code, and I narrow down the block of code that needs tweaking.
// Comput the X,Y origin offsets
CGFloat xOffsetLabel;
CGFloat xOffsetBalloon;
CGFloat yOffset;
if (TRANSCRIPT_DIRECTION_SEND == transcript.direction) {//
// Sent messages appear or right of view
xOffsetLabel = 320 - labelSize.width - (BALLOON_WIDTH_PADDING / 2) - 3;
xOffsetBalloon = 320 - balloonSize.width;
yOffset = BUFFER_WHITE_SPACE / 2;
_nameLabel.text = @"";
// Set text color
_messageLabel.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
// Set resizeable image
_balloonView.image = [self.balloonImageRight resizableImageWithCapInsets:_balloonInsetsRight];
}
else {
// Received messages appear on left of view with additional display name label
xOffsetBalloon = 0;
xOffsetLabel = (BALLOON_WIDTH_PADDING / 2) + 3;
yOffset = (BUFFER_WHITE_SPACE / 2) + nameSize.height - NAME_OFFSET_ADJUST;
if (TRANSCRIPT_DIRECTION_LOCAL == transcript.direction) {
_nameLabel.text = @"user";
}
else {
_nameLabel.text = @"Admin"; //nameText;
}
// Set text color
_messageLabel.textColor = [UIColor darkTextColor];
// Set resizeable image
_balloonView.image = [self.balloonImageLeft resizableImageWithCapInsets:_balloonInsetsLeft];
}
// Set the dynamic frames
_messageLabel.frame = CGRectMake(xOffsetLabel, yOffset + 5, labelSize.width, labelSize.height);
_balloonView.frame = CGRectMake(xOffsetBalloon, yOffset, balloonSize.width, balloonSize.height);
_nameLabel.frame = CGRectMake(xOffsetLabel - 2, 1, nameSize.width, nameSize.height);
Unfortunately my attempts to place green ballon to the right were unsuccessful(I can only more the content of the text to the right not the ballon itself). any idea ?
