stream-chat-android VS stream-chat-react

Stream's offerings and Kotlin Multiplatform might be a great fit for your next project. Embrace the future of app development by writing less code and delivering more value to your users.

Platform, language, and tech stack: React, Android, React Native, iOS, Flutter, Unreal, Angular, Unity, and UI Kits.

Nothing, but that hardly achieves the same thing. For example, if you're building an API that others will consume and you want to let them dynamically replace parts of the UI within your components, you'll have quite a challenge giving your users a simple and flexible API based on Views (see for example many things in Stream's SDK that I used to work on). Gets even more difficult if this is within a RecyclerView.

So that's the implementation we ended up with for now! You can find all of this code in the Chat Android SDK's GitHub repository if you want to look at it in a real project.

Check out Stream on Github. They have a few chat SDKs for iOS, Android, React and a few others. Website: https://getstream.io/

We’ll use our very own Android Chat SDK in our examples. This SDK is made up of multiple artifacts, but for simplification, we’ll just talk about publishing the low-level networking client, which lives in the stream-chat-android-client module of the GitHub repository.

We already ship a UI Components library in our Chat SDK which contains ready-to-go, fully-featured Android Views to drop into your app, along with ViewModels that let you connect them to business logic in just a single line of code. You can check out how that works in our Android Chat Tutorial.

In this article, you will learn an overview of E2EE, its challenges, and why you should implement it to provide world-class security for your app's users. To see end-to-end encryption implementation in action, keep an eye out for another tutorial that focuses on integrating E2EE into a web app using Stream Chat’s React SDK and Seald E2EE SDK. Although we cover general E2EE concepts in this article, we illustrate most of the E2EE examples for chat messaging.

Platform, language, and tech stack: React, Android, React Native, iOS, Flutter, Unreal, Angular, Unity, and UI Kits.

In part one of the series, we did not cover any UI work and instead focused on setting up the project and integrating the Stream Chat SDK. Having laid this groundwork, we can now start implementing the UI.

Here, Dillion Megida, frontend developer advocate for Stream, shares how to build a Slack clone using the Stream React Chat SDK. This hour-long tutorial demonstrates how to customize components, create developer tokens, query and join channels, and leverage the Stream UI kit for a polished user experience.
