Element X Android
Element X Android is a Matrix Android Client provided by element.io.
The application is a total rewrite of Element-Android using the Matrix Rust SDK underneath and targeting devices running Android 7+. The UI layer is written using Jetpack Compose, and the navigation is managed using Appyx.
Learn more about why we are building Element X in our blog post: https://element.io/blog/element-x-experience-the-future-of-element/.

Translations
Element X Android supports many languages. You can help us to translate the app in your language by joining our Localazy project. You can also help us to improve the existing translations.
Note that for now, we keep control on the French and German translations.
Translations can be checked screen per screen using our tool Element X Android Gallery, available at https://element-hq.github.io/element-x-android/. Note that this page is updated every Tuesday.
More instructions about translating the application can be found at CONTRIBUTING.md.
Rust SDK
Element X leverages the Matrix Rust SDK through an FFI layer that the final client can directly import and use.
We're doing this as a way to share code between platforms and while we've seen promising results it's still in the experimental stage and bound to change.
Status
This project is in an early rollout and migration phase.
Contributing
Want to get actively involved in the project? You're more than welcome! A good way to start is to check the issues that are labelled with the good first issue label. Let us know by commenting the issue that you're starting working on it.
But first make sure to read our contribution guide first.
You can also come chat with the community in the Matrix room dedicated to the project.
Build instructions
Just clone the project and open it in Android Studio. Make sure to select the
app configuration when building (as we also have sample apps in the project).
To build against a local copy of the Rust SDK, see the Developer onboarding instructions.
Support
When you are experiencing an issue on Element X Android, please first search in GitHub issues and then in #element-x-android:matrix.org. If after your research you still have a question, ask at #element-x-android:matrix.org. Otherwise feel free to create a GitHub issue if you encounter a bug or a crash, by explaining clearly in detail what happened. You can also perform bug reporting from the application settings. This is especially recommended when you encounter a crash.
