Overhauled Conversation View with Message Bubbles 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.

Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate. Unlike traditional messaging tools such as email, Twitter or Telegram, Briar doesn't rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users' devices. If the Internet's down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis. If the Internet's up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance.
