This project provides a Twitch clone for Android, showcasing modern development practices with Jetpack Compose and Stream's Chat and Video SDKs. It's targeted at Android developers looking to implement real-time messaging and video communication features, demonstrating a clean architecture and extensive use of Jetpack libraries.

How It Works

The application is built entirely with Jetpack Compose for UI, leveraging Kotlin Coroutines and Flow for asynchronous operations. It integrates Stream Chat SDK for messaging and Stream Video SDK for video calls, utilizing WebRTC under the hood. The architecture follows Google's official guidance, separating concerns into UI and data layers with a unidirectional data flow, and employs Hilt for dependency injection.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install/Run: Requires Android Studio and an API key from Stream. Create a secrets.properties file with STREAM_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY.
• Prerequisites: Minimum SDK level 24.
• Setup: Requires signing up for a Stream account and creating an app to obtain an API key.
• Docs: Stream Chat SDK for Compose, Stream Video SDK for Compose
