ANDROID DEVELOPMENT




Introduction

Android is an operating system and programming platform developed by Google for mobile phones and other mobile devices, such as tablets. It can run on many different devices from many different manufacturers. Android includes a software development kit (SDK) that helps you write original code and assemble software modules to create apps for Android users. Android also provides a marketplace to distribute apps. All together, Android represents an ecosystem for mobile apps.Developers create apps for a variety of reasons. They may need to address business requirements or build new services or businesses, or they may want to offer games and other types of content for users. Developers choose to develop for Android in order to reach the majority of mobile device users.




Why we need Android development?

Anyone you talk to will tell you that making apps for Android OS is a great idea. They’re not wrong, but for informed app developers detailed knowledge is necessary before making a decision that would have long-term consequences. Of course, the first thing to consider is the reasons to pick Android over iOS. While newer platforms are gaining ground, Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android remain global market leaders. If your budget can handle the in-house development and launch of both Android and iOS apps, problem solved. But, by choosing one platform to do this work on your behalf usually leads to better use of funds, resources, time-saving and talent.

  1. Design and build advanced applications for the Android platform.
  2. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship new features.
  3. Work with outside data sources and API's.
  4. Unit-test code for robustness, including edge cases, usability, and general reliability.
  5. Work on bug fixing and improving application performance.
  6. Continuously discover, evaluate, and implement new technologies to maximize development efficiency.
