Of course, you might be wondering why we're building a Compose Chat app when there's an official Google sample, Jetchat, which is also a chat app using Compose. That sample is a basic UI demo with a small bit of hardcoded data. Here, we're building a real, functional chat app instead that's hooked up to a real-time backend service.

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.

The project we're building in this article is available on GitHub, feel free to clone the project and play around with it on your own! We recommend getting your own Stream API key for this, which you can do by signing up for a free trial.
