Element X Android
Element X Android is a Matrix Android Client provided by element.io. This app is currently in a pre-alpha release stage with only basic functionalities.
The application is a total rewrite of Element-Android using the Matrix Rust SDK underneath and targeting devices running Android 6+. 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/.

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 work in progress. The app does not cover yet all functionalities we expect. The list of supported features can be found in this issue.
