Adroit Android Deployed

With a market share that consistently sails between 70–80%, Android app development has become crucial for businesses.

Its beauty lies in its infrastructure.
Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it ranks efficiency over design.
And its strength lies in its responsiveness to its users and the market.

Much like Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, developers and programmers too have needs that make them prefer or detest a certain app development platform. Let’s look at the different features of the Android app development platform that make it a favourable prospect in this arena.

PRIMARY

Can’t-do without these now, can we?

• Android phones are quite affordable all over the world.
• It is fast and easy — a duo that makes it almost invincible.
• You can use Windows, Mac, Linux and register as a developer on the Google Play Store with a minimal fee of $25.
• That Android wants developers to do what they do best is evidenced by the fact that the Software Development Kit is available to them for free.
• Android does not need any fancy coding languages. If Java, a highly popular programming language, is your strong point, you are good to go!
• The ‘customizable user interface’ feature is a major factor in the development of interactive and innovative apps.

SECONDARY

A step ahead into the realm of Android reveals perquisites that make it an extremely comfortable platform.

• Android is a free open-source operating system (OS), allowing developers to modify and enhance source code.
• As a developer, you can build and test apps for your devices for free.
• Low advertising costs make it possible to reach cater to a wider audience.
• Apps deployed to the Google Play Store can be downloaded by users in a matter of hours and changes can be made to the app multiple times in response to users’ responses and comments.
• As a corollary to the above, you can release the app to a section of users before making it available to the general public.
• The integrated development environment (IDE) is designed to help developers code in a step-by-step manner.
• The Android market is not the only source for installation of Android apps.

TERTIARY

Further down the road, you notice the presence of exotic elements that you didn’t know were inhabitable at all.

• Google integration makes things much more cohesive since all services are easily available.
• You can reap major SEO benefits since the presence of your app in the Google Play Store helps you rank higher in the Google App Indexing system.
• Instead of preventing the use of certain apps by just adding passwords, its innovative infrastructure can make people finish certain tasks first (like solving math equations) and then only provide access to other apps.
• Cross-system software portability enables flexibility between different operating systems (OS) like Blackberry, Ubuntu and Symbian.
• You can be the salesman that you want to be by devising your own distribution channels to eventually reach as many end users as possible.
• It is not a crime to root your Android device and install a custom ROM if you want to modify its system.
• Business owners and developers can go social easily since Android integrations with social networks are smooth and a no-brainer!
