Installation

This SDK is the client half of your integration. Feed groups, ranking, permissions, push setup and bulk imports are configured from your backend with a server-side SDK or the REST API, and the token your app connects with has to be signed there too. See the server-side overview for what belongs there, starting with tokens and authentication.

Build with Stream CLI and Agent Skills

The Stream CLI and Agent Skills provide AI coding agents, such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, with the tools and knowledge necessary to build apps with Stream.

Install the CLI and add the skills to your project:

curl -fsSL https://getstream.io/cli.sh | bash
getstream skills stream-android

Once installed, invoke it from your agent:

/stream Add Stream Feeds to my Android app.

The /stream skill acts as a router, reading your request and dispatching it to the specialist skill. You can also invoke the /stream-android skill directly.

Stream Agent Skills can also be installed from skills.sh.

The Android SDK can be added to your project with Gradle. If you are starting a new project, we always recommend using the latest release. Releases and changes are published on the GitHub releases page.

To add the SDK, open your build.gradle or build.gradle.kts file and add:

dependencies {
    implementation("io.getstream:stream-feeds-android-client:$stream_feeds_version")
}

Replace $stream_feeds_version with the latest version from the GitHub releases page.
