The Sceyt Chat Android UIKit gives you a complete set of production-ready chat screens — channel list, message thread, channel info, media viewer, and more — that you drop into your Android application with minimal code. Every component is deeply customizable through a typed style system, pluggable formatters, providers, and a navigation abstraction that lets you replace any screen with your own.

Get started in 3 steps

1

Add the dependency

Add the UIKit to your app’s build.gradle from Maven Central:
build.gradle.kts
dependencies {
    implementation("com.sceyt:sceyt-chat-android-uikit:2.1.5")
}
2

Initialize in your Application class

Call SceytChatUIKit.initialize() before any other SDK usage:
MyApplication.kt
class MyApplication : Application() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        SceytChatUIKit.initialize(
            appContext = this,
            apiUrl = "https://us-ohio-api.sceyt.com",
            appId = "YOUR_APP_ID",
            clientId = UUID.randomUUID().toString(),
            enableDatabase = true
        )
    }
}
3

Connect and display the channel list

Connect with a user token and embed ChannelListFragment into your activity:
MainActivity.kt
SceytChatUIKit.connect(token = "YOUR_USER_TOKEN")

supportFragmentManager.beginTransaction()
    .replace(R.id.container, ChannelListFragment())
    .commit()
Check out the example app in the repository for a complete working integration.
