CometChat

Android Sample App by CometChat

This is a reference application showcasing the integration of CometChat's Android UI Kit within an Android Kotlin framework. It provides developers with examples of implementing real-time messaging and voice and video calling features in their own Android-based applications.

Prerequisites

  • Android Studio
  • Android Device or emulator with Android version 6.0 or above.
  • Kotlin 1.7.0 or above.
  • Sign up for a CometChat account to get your app credentials: App ID, Region, and Auth Key

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/cometchat/cometchat-sample-app-android-kotlin.git
    
  2. In Android Studio, open the project cometchat-sample-app-android-kotlin

  3. Enter your CometChat App ID, Region, and Auth Key in the AppConstants.kt file:

    object AppConstants {
    const val APP_ID = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
    const val AUTH_KEY = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
    const val REGION = "XX"
    }

  4. If your app is created before August 12th, 2024 then change the sample data URL to https://assets.cometchat.io/sampleapp/v1/sampledata.json in the app/src/main/java/com/cometchat/kotlinsampleapp/constants/StringConstants.kt file:

    const val KEY_USER: String = "users"
    const val SAMPLE_APP_USERS_URL: String = "https://assets.cometchat.io/sampleapp/sampledata.json"
    const val UID: String = "uid"

  5. Run the app on a device or emulator.
