Not getting the last position in the getView() on Android

Question

I have a ListView with an adapter. My problem is that I don't receive the last position from the getView() function and instead receive the second last position twice. What could be the issue?

Find below the relevant parts of the adapter.

static class ItemViewHolder {
    private RelativeLayout messageRow;
    private LinearLayout messageContainer;
    private TextView messageText;
    private TextView messageSentTime;
    private TextView PictureReportTextView;
    private ImageView messageState;
    private ImageView messagePicture;
    private WebView messageGifView;
    private ProgressBar messageProgressbar;
    private int position;
}

public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

    View rowView = convertView;
    final ItemViewHolder subViews;
    if (rowView == null) {
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.message_list_item, parent, false);
        subViews = new ItemViewHolder();
        subViews.messageRow = (RelativeLayout) rowView.findViewById(R.id.message_row);
        subViews.messageContainer = (LinearLayout) rowView.findViewById(R.id.message_container);
        subViews.messageText = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.message_text);
        subViews.messageSentTime = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.message_sent_time);
        subViews.messagePicture = (ImageView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.message_picture);
        subViews.messageProgressbar = (ProgressBar) rowView.findViewById(R.id.message_picture_progress_bar);
        subViews.PictureReportTextView = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.message_picture_report);
        subViews.messageState = (ImageView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.message_state);
        rowView.setTag(subViews);
    } else {
        subViews = (ItemViewHolder) rowView.getTag();
    }

    final MessageModel messageObj = getValues().get(position);

    subViews.position = position;
    subViews.messagePicture.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    subViews.messageProgressbar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    subViews.PictureReportTextView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    subViews.messagePicture.imageURl = "";

    if (messageObj.getMessage().equals("")) {
        subViews.messageText.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        subViews.messageText.setText("");
    } else {
        subViews.messageText.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        subViews.messageText.setText(messageObj.getMessage());
    }
    Log.d(TAG, "for position: " + position + " - " + messageObj.getMessage());
    Log.d(TAG, "for position: " + position + " - " + messageObj.getMessageId());

    subViews.messageSentTime.setText(DateTimeUtils.stringForMessageListDate(messageObj.getSentTime()));

    if (messageObj.getMessagePicture().equals("") || messageObj.getMessagePicture().equals("null")) {
        subViews.messagePicture.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        subViews.PictureReportTextView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        subViews.messageContainer.setMinimumWidth(0);
        subViews.messageContainer.setMinimumHeight(0);
        if (subViews.messageGifView != null) {
            subViews.messageGifView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            subViews.messageGifView.loadUrl("about:blank");
        }
    } else {
        subViews.PictureReportTextView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        subViews.messagePicture.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        loadMessagePicture(messageObj, subViews, false);
    }

    if (messageObj.getFlagged() == 1) {
        subViews.messageText.setText(reportString);
        subViews.messageText.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        subViews.PictureReportTextView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        if (subViews.messageGifView != null) {
            subViews.messageGifView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        }
        subViews.messagePicture.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        subViews.messageSentTime.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    } else {
        subViews.messageSentTime.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    }

    subViews.messageRow.setMinimumWidth(0);

    return rowView;
}

And the message_list_item.xml file:
