Android Chat SDK for Messaging with Kotlin
The Android Kotlin Chat Messaging SDK includes both a low-level chat SDK and reusable UI components together in a sample app. Start with the UI components, and fall back to the lower level API when you want to customize things.
The best place to start is the Android In-App Messaging Tutorial. The tutorial teaches you how to use the messaging SDK and also shows how to make common changes. The tutorial is available for both Java and Kotlin.
