How to to install the Crisp live-chat chatbox on Android apps

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

Crisp provides a native Android Chat SDK so you can add a support chat experience directly inside your Android app. The SDK repository and Developer Hub documentation contain the current installation steps, Gradle dependency, and available API methods.

Official Android SDK resources

Use these official resources to get started:

GitHub repository → crisp-im/crisp-sdk-android
Developer Hub documentation → Android Chat SDK
Website ID guide → Where to find my Website ID

Before you implement the SDK

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.
