# How to Install a Support Chat SDK on my Android Apps

*This article points you to the official Crisp Android SDK resources.*

Crisp provides a native [Android Chat SDK](https://crisp.chat/en/sdk/android/) so you can add a [support chat](https://crisp.chat/en/livechat/) experience directly inside your Android mobile app. The SDK repository and Developer Hub documentation contain the current installation steps, Gradle dependency, and available API methods.

__Use these official resources to get started:__
* **GitHub repository** → [crisp-im/crisp-sdk-android](https://github.com/crisp-im/crisp-sdk-android)
* **Developer Hub documentation** → [Android Chat SDK](https://docs.crisp.chat/guides/chatbox-sdks/android-sdk/)
* **Website ID guide** → [Where to find my Website ID](/en/article/where-to-find-my-website-id-1ylqx1s/)

The Developer Hub is the source of truth for the current Android dependency version, platform requirements, multidex configuration, push notification setup, and API methods.

__Before installing the SDK:__
* **Create or select your Crisp workspace** → the SDK must be configured with your Website ID
* **Check the current Android requirements** → SDK versions and Gradle setup can evolve
* **Review push notifications if needed** → mobile notifications require extra Android and Crisp configuration

|| If you only need Crisp on a website or web app, use the standard web chatbox installation guide instead of the native mobile SDK.
