XML : Android RelativeLayout minimal width

I am developing a messenger app in Android and for this I have a RelativeLayout containing the text message and some info about it. My current xml code for this looks as follows:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  <RelativeLayout      android:id="@+id/text_message"      xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"      android:layout_width="match_parent"      android:layout_height="wrap_content"      android:padding="6dp">      <RelativeLayout          android:id="@+id/chat_message_inner"          android:layout_width="wrap_content"          android:layout_height="wrap_content"          android:background="@drawable/bubble_a1"          android:padding="1dp">          <TextView              android:id="@+id/text_message_text"              android:layout_width="wrap_content"              android:layout_height="wrap_content"              android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"              android:layout_alignParentStart="true"              android:layout_gravity="center"              android:layout_margin="5dp"              android:text="Hello World"              android:textColor="@android:color/black"              android:textSize="@dimen/font_size"/>          <RelativeLayout              android:id="@+id/text_message_info"              android:layout_width="45dp"              android:layout_height="wrap_content"              android:layout_toRightOf="@id/text_message_text"              android:layout_toEndOf="@id/text_message_text"              android:padding="3dp">              <TextView                  android:id="@+id/chat_timeStamp"                  android:layout_width="wrap_content"                  android:layout_height="wrap_content"                  android:layout_below="@+id/chat_status"                  android:text="00:00"                  android:textColor="@color/colorTimeStamp"/>              <ImageView                  android:id="@+id/chat_status"                  android:layout_width="19dp"                  android:layout_height="13dp"                  android:layout_alignEnd="@+id/chat_timeStamp"                  android:layout_alignRight="@+id/chat_timeStamp"                  android:layout_marginEnd="2dp"                  android:layout_marginRight="2dp"                  android:layout_marginTop="6dp"                  android:src="@drawable/two_grey_hook"/>          </RelativeLayout>      </RelativeLayout>  </RelativeLayout>    

Small messages are looking good (Hello World Message), large messages reaching over multiple lines, however, make the information layout disappear (Longer Message). Is there a way of avoiding this problem? It doesn't really matter if I stick to RelativeLayouts or not, it just seemed for me to be the most customizable one.

Also, I know in this code extraction it seems like the two surrounding layouts can be merged into one, however, as I want to set the layout's gravity depending on who sent the message but don't want the background bubble to stretch over the whole width.

I would appreciate any kind of help and can also provide any further code snippets if you would like them.
