The comment list is in ascending order of timestamp. Perhaps, latest comments will be in bottom.

If the comment_type is anonymous, then it is message by our team member

Pinned messages

Tip: If the message is in format of /pin title:<TITLE HERE> message:<Message HERE>, then it is pinned message by the project author or Sketchub admin. You may follow this method to get pinned messages that format:

public boolean checkPinned(HashMap<String, String> child) {
    String message = child.get("message");
    String type = child.get("comment_type");

    if (type == null) {
        type = "";
    }
    if (message == null) {
        return false;
    }
    if (message.startsWith("/pin")) {

        try {
            int titleIndex = message.indexOf("title:");
            int messageIndex = message.indexOf("message:");

            if (titleIndex == -1 || messageIndex == -1) {
                return false;
            }

            String title = message.substring(titleIndex + "title: ".length(), messageIndex - 1);
            String msg = message.substring(messageIndex + "message: ".length());

            showPinnedView(true, title, msg);
            return true;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            return false;
        }
    }

    return false;
}
