I have been using irc for lot of time and I am figuring out that if it
will work on android. Is there any version of Hexchat that runs on
android or any good client that will work?

I liked CoreIRC the most out of the native apps, though it's paid.
Previously I used AndroIRC but it hasn't been updated in awhile and is
unstable enough to be annoying, but it works.

If you know your way around server hosting then my preferred client is
TheLounge, but you need a webserver.

Most native apps suck because maintaining a stable tcp socket on a
mobile devuce isnt practical. So the best apps are ones that go
through a protocol changing proxy. Irccloud, quasseldroid, matrix irc
bridge and element, etc.

IRCCloud is quite good

You can use irssi in termux.

If you use the Conversations XMPP client you can join IRC channels via
the disroot.org IRC transport with the syntax
`#channel%irc.domain.tld@irc.disroot.org`.

It is clearly not enjoyable running a CLI irc client on Android. Just
saying.

With normal keyboard it's hell.
But with custom keyboard instead of standard it's quite OK.
