cometchat-android-v6-kotlin-placement

Where the CometChat Android v6 chat UI goes in a Kotlin XML Views app — the default conversations→message Activity flow, growing to the tab-based app (chats/users/groups/calls + detail, thread and search screens + incoming calls), a single one-to-one screen, or chat embedded in an existing Activity/Fragment, with a correct back stack. Triggers: 'tab based chat android', 'add a chat tab to my app', 'open a chat screen for this user', 'embed cometchat in my activity', 'full chat app android kotlin'.

> **Ground truth:** catalog `android-v6.json` + `contracts.android-v6.json` (`core-chat-surface`, `chat-experience`) + the live recipes (`conversation-message-view`, `tab-based-chat`, `one-to-one-chat`). Signatures below were verified against the INSTALLED 6.0.5 source. Fetch anything else from docs (`core` → `references/docs-map.md`).

> ⚠<U+FE0F> **Kotlin XML Views cohort.** Screens are Activities/Fragments hosting kit Views. The Compose cohort (NavHost + composables) is a separate skill.

## Companion skills (read first)
- `cometchat-android-v6-core` — install, credentials, `initFromSettings → login → render`, and **`references/layout.md` (the ONE sizing standard)**. Sizing rules live THERE; this skill places screens.
- `cometchat-android-v6-kotlin-components` — what exists in this cohort.

## Use this skill when
"put chat behind a tab", "build the full chat app", "open a chat screen for this user/group", "embed the conversation list in an existing screen", "how should I navigate between the list and the messages".

## Prerequisites & install
Same kit + `initFromSettings → login` gate as `core` — **no chat Activity is started before login resolves.** Every Activity below must be lifecycle-aware (`AppCompatActivity`/`ComponentActivity`/`FragmentActivity`) — the kit hooks lifecycle events — and **registered in `AndroidManifest.xml`**.
