5 Major Challenging Areas Of Android App Development

Although Android was unveiled in the year of 2007, the craze of app development has never ceased amongst developers. In a survey, held in 2015, it was found that around 40% of the professional developers targeted only Android as their target platform. Growing enthusiasm among developers, especially the beginners motivates them to invent new ideas and realize them in Android app development. The following explains five major challenge areas that are faced by developers while developing the Android mobile software application.

1. Developing the User Interface (UI)

We discuss about the User Interface (UI) many a times for different Smartphones, it varies in every case. For example Xiaomi has its MIUI, Samsung has Touch Wiz, Sony has Xperia and other UIs that are built by the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). Developers find it difficult for developing the applications that hold uniformity across different devices.

2. Performance factors

Factors that influence the performance of an application in a mobile device include – Graphical User Interface (GUI), memory and power. In here, the developer’s concern is about developing the application that does not disturb the balanced and distributed functioning of other applications while maintaining the optimality.

3. Theft code problem

Like all developers, an individual completely focuses on the Android app development by improving the functionalities and performance while neglecting the part of securing the application code logic. Several application pirates break into the source code or logic available from other applications using the re-engineering technique to build their own applications.

4. Attacks on security

Unauthorized access, malicious attack, and other issues can hamper the security of a user. Here, the developer has the responsibility to protect the communication channel denying any access of data, whether in transit or in rest. Containerization and encryption of data reduce the vulnerability of security breaches.

5. Compatibility with older versions

Adding of new features to an application is a desire for every developer. However, they need to think of a solution to add them into the older versions matching to the updated Android API and run smoothly on the device as desired.

Apart from these challenges, the developer needs to take care of different aspects, including that of usability, coding standards, scalability, etc. to provide a quality application to the users. Their precise and future-centric approach helps them develop the applications that are effective and beneficial in creating new features, fixing bugs, and others.

The above showcases the major challenges faced by Android application developers, which has to be overcome in order to develop a good and popular Andriod Mobile Application.
