This page indexes focused, task‑oriented feature guides for the Android UI Kit. Each guide shows how to implement a specific capability end‑to‑end using UIKit components. Guides include both Kotlin (XML Views) and Jetpack Compose examples where applicable.

When to Use These Guides

Use these guides after completing the base Getting Started setup. They help you layer additional UX without rewriting core chat flows.

The CometChat Android UI Kit is available in two modules:

Module	Description
chatuikit-kotlin	Traditional XML-based Views for use with Activities and Fragments.
chatuikit-jetpack	Jetpack Compose components for declarative UI.
