# Cometchat Android V5 Core — Master the foundational setup for CometChat on Android—initialize the SDK, build UIKitSettings, add dependencies, and authenticate users. Covers Gradle configuration, AndroidX/Jetifier requirements, and the anti-patterns that break integrations. Start here before tackling components, theming, or placement.
