EmojiTextView | Tap to swap out words with emojis | iOS library

In message row for group messaging set, the minimum (text and time) layout width is the width of the username view. See below images (see the time alignment)

I never asked any question before but hope you'll get my point. I am making a chat app in which I am using a RecyclerView to show messages. The problem is when I scroll the RecyclerView some of the items disappear from the top and the whole items messes up when I try to add a message it doesn't even scroll to bottom nor added in the ListView.

Here is my RecyclerView:

I have a standard recycler view adapter I created but it has a strange issue where certain views will change their visibility or size randomly,

Ok I say randomly it's obviously me changing the size and or visibility of these views so lets have a short example, if I change the visibility at position 0 to gone based on my object having no text inside it, when the adapter is called position 0 will indeed be gone, but if i scroll down and back the view becomes visible, a similar thing happens with my text views so if it has less than ten characters it should be size x and else should be size y, on first load the size is correct but scrolling down and back the size changes, I'm aware that behind the scenes the view is loaded and recycled (hence the name recycler view) however I thought that the position passed into onBindViewHolder(final MyViewHolder holder, final int position) would always be correct as it comes from the main list, if anyone can help me here I'd appreciate it as right now I'm scratching my head, I'm going to post my entire adapter class for the fear of not including enough but generally its my onBindViewHolder that i feel is the main culprit which does include a lot of mostly arbritary code, as mentioned everything works to a degree but I have strange errors when scrolling up and down with views changing I believe I'm doing everything I should be everything displays the correct data just not always the right size or visiblity, would appreciate any help

I have a recyclerview with multiple items. and recyclerview has different viewtypes with different heights..

So these are what i tried
