Understanding the Crucial Aspects of Android Application Development

The Android platform dominates the handheld devices market around the world. It has gained unprecedented popularity ever since its launch less than ten years ago. Different devices such as smartphones, tablets, televisions and sports gear now operate on the platform. Its increasing popularity has also meant an urgent need for applications that are needed to cater to the demands of Android users.

More and more companies are realizing the possibilities offered by this market and are relying on software developers to cater to this need. These developers use various tools such as the Android application development platform to create exceptional apps. This environment requires comprehensive knowledge of integrated system development tools. The expert developers use these tools to design, develop and test applications with an efficient utilization of resources and make them available to the public. These coders can now offer a range of services for businesses and help them leverage the power of Android. Here is a brief look at the crucial aspects of Android application development.

• The Platform: While developing an application for the masses, it is important to understand the integrated development environment. There are different platforms for different types of requirements. Each requires people who have sufficient expertise in coding and development.
• Develop for Specific Consumers or Masses: The Android Application development does not target a single area of interest or any particular age group, unless specifically tasked to do so. The application is usually generic to be used by a wider section of the society. This usually makes its use more widespread than among a specific consumer base. The logic is opposite for enterprise apps where the developers work for a specific user base.
• Fine-Tuning the UI: User interface and graphics makes the application popular. To make it acceptable to the masses, designers and developers ensure that the graphical interface experience is smooth and does not have problems like lags, freezing over, etc. The application should have an intuitive graphically rich interface but at the same time, it must not confuse the users.
• Development for Multiple Screen Sizes: Android users rely on a wide range of devices with screen sizes ranging from less than 4" to nearly 7" for smartphones. The complexity increases with the device types. The developer must ensure that the application must be designed using density independent pixels rather than adjusting right amount of pixels for each device.
• The Question of Memory: One of the major concerns of every Android user is the device storage. To keep the application viable for download on any device, it must not consume too much storage memory. It is smarter to keep the design simpler to avoid complications. The best developers know how to make a product lightweight.
• Extensive Testing: The coders ensure that there are no loopholes or bugs when the application is being used. They test Android applications extensively to find faults and fix issues easily.
• Value Customers: The end user is the customer who downloads the Android application from the Play Store and uses it. The developers keep regular track of bugs and issues by checking user reviews and feedback.
