How to Simply Explain About Android App Development

Here’s a step-by-step process guideline to assist you in Android App Development.

 

1.   Choosing the right programming language

Whether you view Android as a leading OS or app-publishing platform, it is intrinsically an amalgamation of functional programming languages. Android offers the all-powerful Java API, which is used to write the app infrastructure while the supporting implementations are written in C++. Additionally, Android is supported by XML that can be used in UI designing, HTTP and SQLite which are used for data storage and security, Gradle for compiling, and so on. Android app development is also made simpler with the installation of IDEs although it’s not a compulsory requirement.

 

2.   Optimizing Themes

 

 Android App Development can be greatly simplified with the use of themes. Themes bring about a standardization in terms of the look, feel and styling of the app. Declaring the frame details such as height and width of every screen is a code heavy route of development; not to mention time-consuming and prone to errors. Opt for an attractive theme that suits your layout and compliment it with styling that will look attractive on all devices.

 

3.   Be proactive on online forums

The mark of a good developer is not someone who knows how to write every line of sophisticated code; rather, it is someone who knows where to find relevant answers to his queries. Each project will require a certain skill set and present a wide variety of challenges that will leave even the most qualified developers dumb-founded. Online resources and discussion forums such as Stack Overflow, Github panels, and Android Subreddit are the life-source of developers.

 

Other notable platforms such as DevShed, CodeCall, ProjectCode, CodeAcademy et cetera, are also abuzz with a vibrant developer community eager to engage and solve problems together. Being social both in times of needs or towards the needs of other problem-solving developers will be the key to a successful career in Android App Development.

 

4.   Development Timeframe

Android App development timeframes differ as per the rich features and core functionality of the app. Generally, a two-month time-period is considered sufficient for building a standard mobile app, but incremental features that require complex code may require more time. But most contracting companies will demand faster turnaround time, which is challenging but can be achieved by making use of rapid application tools. These tools ease the implementation of changes by making use of drag and drop interface design that bypass traditional coding requirements. These tools enable last-mile simplification in Android App Development.

 

5.   Develop a Customer Feedback loop

The best resource in the pursuit of Android App Development is the end user himself/herself. The foundation of building a good Android app is building an effective customer feedback loop that will bring real-time feedback from the customer at an early stage of app development which can be streamlined to build features and functionality that the customers will use and endorse.
