To display a very long message, occupying about 40 screens, in a messenger on Android, you need to use a component that supports efficient handling of large amounts of text and scrolling.
Usually, a RecyclerView with a single item or a ScrollView with a TextView is used for this purpose, but for such a large text, it is better to use a ScrollView with a TextView, as it is simple and effective.
Example:
val scrollView = ScrollView(context)
val textView = TextView(context)
textView.text = longMessage // long text
scrollView.addView(textView)
// Add scrollView to layout
If the message is very large, it can be split into parts and loaded as the user scrolls to avoid memory overload, but this is rarely necessary for text.
It is important to ensure smooth scrolling and reading comfort.
