Below is my complete adapter class of sendbird chatting.Currently date with time is displayed with every message.viewHolder.getView("left_time") and viewHolder.getView("right_time") are views for displaying date with time and it is calculated in method getDisplayDateTime.I want date with time to be displayed only when there is a change in date.For example if there is set of messages dated 23rd june then date with time should be displayed only for the first message with date 23rd june.
I tried doing that by detecting whenever there is a change in date by storing date in xyz variable and comparing it with date of every message and whenever they are unequal then making date view of that message visible and assigning the new date to xyz variable for comparison with future messages.But this approach fails when i scroll down and scroll up list. What is the ideal approach for achieving this?

Try below code for your method,
private static String getDisplayDateTime(Context context, long milli, long milli2)
{
Date date = new Date(milli);
Date previousDate = new Date(milli2);
String strCurrentDate = "", strPreviousDate = "";
if (System.currentTimeMillis() - milli < 60 * 60 * 24 * 1000l)
{
strCurrentDate = DateFormat.getTimeFormat(context).format(date);
if(milli2 != -1)
strPreviousDate = DateFormat.getTimeFormat(context).format(previousDate);
//return strCurrentDate.equals(strPreviousDate) ? "" : strCurrentDate;
}
else
{
strCurrentDate = DateFormat.getDateFormat(context).format(date) + " " + DateFormat.getTimeFormat(context).format(date);
if(milli2 != -1)
strPreviousDate = DateFormat.getDateFormat(context).format(strPreviousDate) + " " + DateFormat.getTimeFormat(context).format(strPreviousDate);
}
return strCurrentDate.equals(strPreviousDate) ? "" : strCurrentDate;
}
Now call your methods like below
if(position > 0)
{
final Object previousItem = getItem(position - 1);
Message previousMessage = (Message) previousItem;
viewHolder.getView("right_time", TextView.class).setText(getDisplayDateTime(mContext, message.getTimestamp(), previousMessage.getTimestamp()));
}
else
{
viewHolder.getView("right_time", TextView.class).setText(getDisplayDateTime(mContext, message.getTimestamp(), -1));
}
