Tox Reference Implementation for Android [TRIfA]
~~This is not a Reference Client, it's c-toxcore for Android.~~
This is now also a Tox Client for Android.
TRIfA represents a comprehensive engineering effort to bring P2P communication to mobile platforms, balancing security, performance, and usability while maintaining full compatibility with the broader Tox ecosystem. The codebase demonstrates advanced Android development techniques including JNI integration, battery optimization, and secure storage implementation.
Important Notice: Since Google has changed their Playstore policy in a way that is unacceptable, future Versions are not published on the Playstore anymore. Github Releases are signed with the same key as the Playstore version.

Push Notification
Offline Messages
Does TRIfA connect to any third party servers?
TRIfA (excluding toxcore) uses the Google Firebase service and a third party server to deliver push notifications to other tox mobile users when they are offline. This makes it possible for Mobile devices to go into sleep mode and save battery and network bandwidth when there is no activity. Rest assured that the push notification does not contain any data, the request that comes from TRIfA includes only the FCM token of your contact(s). No ToxID, name or message data is transfered in the process.
