Failed to show the grouping date view for the chat messages in the recyclerview android

How can I make the grouping and show the date view in my app. I am using recyclerview and java to show this messages

Structure:

   --------- **12-04-2021** ----------

--Leftsidemessage--
          ----rightsidemessgae----
--Leftsidemessage--
          ----rightsidemessgae----
--Leftsidemessage--
          ----rightsidemessgae----

    --------- **13-04-2021** ----------
--Leftsidemessage--
          ----rightsidemessgae----
--Leftsidemessage--
          ----rightsidemessgae----
--Leftsidemessage--
          ----rightsidemessgae----

The above is the message structure. I can able to show the rightside and leftside messages by the below code, But it failed to show the datetime view in my app.

Here how can I group and show the messages under a particular days message.

My Chat adapter code is here.

 @Override
        public int getItemViewType(int position) {
            Message message = (Message) msgDtoList.get(position);
            if (minemsg) {
                // If the current user is the sender of the message
                return VIEW_TYPE_MESSAGE_SENT;
            }
            if (!minemsg) {
                // If some other user sent the message
                return VIEW_TYPE_MESSAGE_RECEIVED;
            }
    
            if (message.getmSentTime() != "") { // here the message senttime is always print inside this condition. But failed to show the view in the app.
                return DATE_VIEW_TYPE;
            }
    
            return 0;
        }
     @Override
        public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
            View view;
    
            if (viewType == VIEW_TYPE_MESSAGE_SENT) {
                view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
                        .inflate(R.layout.sender_message_layout, parent, false);
                return new SenderMessageHolder(view);
    
            }
            if (viewType == VIEW_TYPE_MESSAGE_RECEIVED) {
                view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
                        .inflate(R.layout.receiver_message_layout, parent, false);
                return new ReceiverMessageHolder(view);
            }
    
            if (viewType == DATE_VIEW_TYPE) {
                view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
                        .inflate(R.layout.date_view, parent, false);
                return new DateViewHolder(view);
            }
    
            return null;
        }

 @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
        Message message = (Message) msgDtoList.get(position);

        switch (holder.getItemViewType()) {
            case VIEW_TYPE_MESSAGE_SENT:
                populateSentViewHolder(holder, position);
                break;
            case VIEW_TYPE_MESSAGE_RECEIVED:
                populateReceivedViewHolder(holder, position);
                break;

            case DATE_VIEW_TYPE:
                populateDateViewHolder(holder, position);
                break;
        }
    }

My Chat fragment:

  @Override
    public void onViewCreated(View v, @Nullable Bundle b) {
        super.onViewCreated(v, b);
        LinearLayoutManager linearLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity());
        linearLayoutManager.setOrientation(LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL);
        linearLayoutManager.setStackFromEnd(true);
        linearLayoutManager.setSmoothScrollbarEnabled(true);
        linearLayoutManager.setReverseLayout(false);
        mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(linearLayoutManager);

        int newMsgPosition = mAdapter.getItemCount();
        mRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
        mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
}
