What it does

Cometchat Android V6 Kotlin Customization is an agent skill from cometchat/cometchat-skills. Make the CometChat Android v6 UI match your app in the Kotlin XML Views cohort — theming via CometChatTheme.DayNight attributes, per-component styles, message-bubble styling, ViewHolder view slots, state views, long-press and composer menu options, text formatters, custom message rendering with BubbleFactory, localization and sounds. Triggers: 'change cometchat colors android', 'brand the android chat ui', 'dark mode cometchat android xml', 'custom row in conversations', 'replace the empty state', 'add a message…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Android minSdk =28; compileSdk =36; Kotlin =2.1; AGP =8.9.1; JVM target 11; com.cometchat:chatuikit-kotlin-android ^6 (XML Views cohort) — 6.0.x, verified…

It sits in Mobile, covering Theming and dark mode, Android development and Linting and formatting. It works with CometChat, Android and Kotlin. The repository describes itself as: Add CometChat chat & messaging and voice & video calls to any React, Next.js, React Native, Angular, Android, iOS, or Flutter project through your AI coding agent. Works with… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Theming and dark mode
  • Tasks that involve Android development
  • Tasks that involve Linting and formatting

Example prompts

  • “change cometchat colors android”
  • “brand the android chat ui”
  • “dark mode cometchat android xml”
  • “/cometchat-android-v6-kotlin-customization”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Android minSdk >=28; compileSdk >=36; Kotlin >=2.1; AGP >=8.9.1; JVM target 11; com.cometchat:chatuikit-kotlin-android ^6 (XML Views cohort) — 6.0.x, verified 6.0.5; com.cometchat:chat-sdk-android ^5

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 911b108. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are xml and kotlin).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Android minSdk >=28; compileSdk >=36; Kotlin >=2.1; AGP >=8.9.1; JVM target 11; com.cometchat:chatuikit-kotlin-android ^6 (XML Views cohort) — 6.0.x, verified 6.0.5; com.cometchat:chat-sdk-android ^5

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Cometchat Android V6 Kotlin Customization loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 151 tokens; SKILL.md has 740 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~151
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

cometchat android customization theming styles v6 kotlin views dark-mode bubblefactory

Ground truth: catalog android-v6.json + the live Theming/Customization pages. Slot and style setters below were verified against the INSTALLED 6.0.5 source. Fetch exact token names from color-resources; never invent a token or a setter.

⚠️ Kotlin XML Views cohort — theming is XML theme attributes, slots are ViewHolder listeners. The Compose cohort (CometChatTheme {} + style data classes) is a separate skill.

Companion skills (read first)

  • cometchat-android-v6-core — install, credentials, init/login, the fetch map. Assumed here, never repeated.
  • cometchat-android-v6-kotlin-components — what exists; this skill changes how it looks/behaves.

Use this skill when

"match the chat to our brand", "use our fonts", "support dark mode", "restyle the conversation rows or bubbles", "replace the empty/loading/error view", "add an option to the message long-press menu", "render a custom message type", "highlight #hashtags", "translate the UI", "change notification sounds". Theming lives HERE — there is no separate theming skill.

Customization mechanism map (pick the smallest one that does the job)

Theming — the top mechanism (BAKED; the rest of the table is a FETCH)

Extend the kit theme, then apply it in the manifest:

xml
<!-- app/src/main/res/values/themes.xml -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="CometChatTheme.DayNight">
    <item name="cometchatPrimaryColor">#F76808</item>
</style>
<!-- AndroidManifest.xml: <application android:theme="@style/AppTheme" …> -->

Programmatic equivalent: CometChatTheme.setPrimaryColor(Color.parseColor("#F76808")).

Brownfield — an app with its own design system NEVER re-parents its application theme. CometChatTheme.DayNight parents Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight.NoActionBar; re-parenting a Material3 host breaks its own screens (Material3-only attrs stop resolving), while skipping the kit theme crashes kit inflation (unresolved ?attr/cometchat*). Keep the host theme and SCOPE the derived style to where kit views live: manifest android:theme on the chat Activities + ContextThemeWrapper for fragment/tab-embedded views — recipe: kotlin-placement Placement 2. App-wide re-parenting (above) is the greenfield path.

Dark mode — follow the system by default. Add res/values-night/themes.xml overriding the same attributes (cometchatPrimaryColor, cometchatBackgroundColor1, cometchatTextColorPrimary, …); Android applies it automatically. A theme can also be scoped to one Activity (theme-introduction §"Apply a Theme to a Specific Activity"). Override only the tokens you actually brand so future kit versions stay consistent.

What's swappable — slots, verified against 6.0.5

Lists (CometChatConversations, and the same shape on CometChatUsers/CometChatGroups/CometChatGroupMembers): setItemView · setLeadingView · setTitleView · setSubtitleView · setTrailingView — each takes a ConversationsViewHolderListener (a createView/bindView pair), not a View. Plus setEmptyView/setErrorView/setLoadingView (plain View), setOptions/setAddOptions for the long-press menu, setOverflowMenu, and setConversationsRequestBuilder(...) to scope the data.

Message list — per-region providers, each a BubbleViewProvider: setLeadingViewProvider · setHeaderViewProvider · setContentViewProvider · setReplyViewProvider · setBottomViewProvider · setStatusInfoViewProvider · setThreadViewProvider · setFooterViewProvider.

Custom message types — BubbleFactory (NOT message templates)

kotlin
class ContactBubbleFactory : BubbleFactory() {
    override fun getCategory(): String = CometChatConstants.CATEGORY_CUSTOM
    override fun getType(): String = "contact"
    override fun createContentView(context: Context): View = ContactCardView(context)
    override fun bindContentView(
        view: View, message: BaseMessage,
        alignment: UIKitConstants.MessageBubbleAlignment,
        holder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder?, position: Int
    ) { (view as ContactCardView).bind(message) }
}
messageList.setBubbleFactories(listOf(ContactBubbleFactory()))

createContentView() runs before the message is known (only the factory key is available); the message arrives in bindContentView(). Optional: createBubbleView/bindBubbleView (replace the whole bubble), createLeadingView, getBubbleStyle.

⚠️ The old v5 template API is absent from the shipped 6.0.5 artifact — CometChatMessageTemplate, setTemplates, setType, setCategory, setBubbleView, setMessageReceipt do not compile (logged internally). The docs message-template page was corrected upstream (verified 2026-09-09): it is now "Message Bubble Factory" and teaches BubbleFactory. Use BubbleFactory.

The rule

Custom UI goes INSIDE the component — a slot, a state view, a menu option, a formatter, a bubble factory — never a hand-built row stacked over a kit list, never a forked component. If no slot exists for what's needed, fetch the component's .md twin before inventing UI; if there genuinely is no hook, say so rather than re-implementing the component.

Common pitfalls

Hardcoding hex per screen instead of theming once · inventing a token name (fetch color-resources) · styling only light mode (no values-night) · passing a View where a ViewHolderListener/BubbleViewProvider is required · stacking custom views on top of kit components · re-implementing a list to change one row · emitting CometChatMessageTemplate from the docs page · filtering data client-side instead of scoping the request builder.

Verify it works

Compile: ./gradlew :app:assembleDebug # in YOUR app (native-fence.mjs is a pack-repo gate, not installed by the CLI). On device: the brand color appears on kit surfaces; toggle system dark mode → the UI follows with readable contrast; a slotted view renders INSIDE its component; state views appear on empty/error/loading; a custom message type renders through its factory; a changed menu option shows on long-press.
