The CometChat Android UI Kit provides prebuilt, customizable UI components for adding chat, voice, and video calling to any Android app. Every component handles its own data fetching, real-time listeners, and state — so you drop it in and it works. It ships in two flavors that share the same core (ViewModels, repositories, events), so you get identical behavior whichever you choose:
  • Jetpack Compose — native Material 3 composables for modern, Compose-first apps.
  • Kotlin (XML Views) — drop-in Views for existing XML layout–based apps.

​
Get Started
