Add Chat SDK to your project
Make sure you've added the following to your
gradle.properties file:android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true
The Chat SDK uses custom attributes so you need to make sure that your app inherits from the Chat SDK theme.
<style name="AppTheme" parent="ChatSDKTheme">
Project-level build.gradle
buildscript {
dependencies {
classpath "com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.10"
...
}

}
allprojects {
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
maven { url "https://chatsdk.jfrog.io/artifactory/release/chat-sdk-android" }
maven { url "https://chatsdk.jfrog.io/artifactory/release/chatkit" }

maven { url "https://chatsdk.jfrog.io/artifactory/release/android-image-cropper" }

App-level build.gradle
Enable multi-dex, Java 8 and the Google Services plugin:
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
android {
defaultConfig {
multiDexEnabled = true
...
}
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
}
Then add the dependencies. Replace the
[latest-version] with 5.4.2.For a working example check:
Choose one of the following backends to use:
Firebase
implementation "sdk.chat:firebase-app:[latest-version]"
FireStream (beta)
implementation "sdk.chat:firestream-app:[latest-version]"
XMPP
implementation "sdk.chat:xmpp-app:[latest-version]"
