To get started, see:

* [Get started with declarative UI](/doc/guides/building-search-ui/getting-started/how-to/declarative/android)
* [Get started with imperative UI](/doc/guides/building-search-ui/getting-started/how-to/programmatically/android)

If you don't want to use the InstantSearch Android library,
you can use the [Kotlin API client](/doc/libraries/sdk/install).
