Our Android app development process
Discovery
From understanding your concept to doing the market analysis to requirement gathering, we dig through everything in our kickoff meeting. We, as a top mobile app developers team, would identify your industry competition in the Play Store and craft the UI prototyping to proceed further in the funnel.
Planning
Next, we’ll perform a comprehensive analysis that serves as the foundation for the project. Starting from identifying your USP, wireframing, technical feasibility analysis to distinguishing your revenue model, we plan the basic mobile strategy right to ensure impressive visuals.
Design
From sketching low fidelity wireframes to visualizing high-fidelity manifestations, we apply human-centered design based on the UI/UX designs to design your Android app that delights users and hooks them. We call it habit-forming technology and that’s what differentiates us.
Development
For us, development starts as your idea matures in the conceptual stages. Our team of certified Android developers starts coding based on the functionalities, assumptions, and final screen designs. We follow Agile methodology for a delightful and stunning Android app experience.
Testing, QA & Launch
To confirm there are no bugs or gaps, all code goes through a final smoke test before launch. Doing this early in the development cycle makes the app less complex considering the issue that might come in usability, security, compatibility, and performance for every sprint/milestone.
Maintenance
Post-launch, our work is not over. We are in constant touch to understand the app’s performance, feedback, and if any updates are required. Cleaning, upgrading, and making sure it engages the user for longer comes under our maintenance audit along with Routine traffic and server load optimization.
Best Practices
Responsive UI with Constraint Layout
Responsive UI with Constraint Layout
As we strive to make the most out of a responsive UI, our preference is using Constraint Layout for view rendering. It allows us to create complex and big-sized layouts with a flat view hierarchy. Just drag and drop - makes life easier.
Kotlin - preferred programming language
Kotlin - preferred programming language
Kotlin, the tour-de-force to develop Android apps has proven benefits over Java. No wonder why we prefer it. By solving the most complex issues that Android developers have faced all this time, Kotlin is our current favorite.
Following Material Design Principles
Following Material Design Principles
By following Material Design, we are standing on the shoulder of design mavericks- Google. We save time by not developing our visual language as we avoid design pitfalls. Plus, the trust of Google that your app security would be top-notch.
App Bundle Publishing Format
App Bundle Publishing Format
The Android App Bundle is the newest publishing format that helped build and release apps efficiently. It aligns with our goal- to deliver stunning user-experience in small app size, which increases install success and eliminates the chances of uninstalls. And it is easily customizable.
Using Work Manager as Android Library
Using Work Manager as Android Library
WorkManager is our favorite Android library as it runs deferrable work in background when your app’s constraints are satisfied. The intent is for those tasks that need a surety that the system will also run if you exit the app. It also adds an advantage to the battery life for Android apps.
Enhanced Performance with Threading
Enhanced Performance with Threading
For long-running tasks and database, Threading can help in enhancing the app’s performance. It is also one of the major aspects of delivering a high-quality end-user experience that is our main focus.
Enhancing App Readability
Enhancing App Readability
The code formatting for Android app is very crucial to improve the app's readability. To maintain this, we put horizontal and vertical restrictions on your app code. For this,
a. Follow proper naming convention
b. Follow proper package structure
c. Important methods should have a proper comment
Android Architecture pattern (MVVM)
Android Architecture pattern (MVVM)
The Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern is what we recommend and use. Model abstracts data source to get and save data, View informs about the user’s action and ViewModel exposes the stream of data which is View relevant. In short, it creates an ecosystem to maintain code and enhance readability.
Static Analysis using Android Studio Code
Static Analysis using Android Studio Code
The lint tool in Android Studio Code checks and optimizes the potential bugs in the code, which in turn improves the correctness, security, accessibility, performance, and internationalization of the codebase. And you’ll get that in our Android app development services.
SVG Images to Scale Image Sizes
SVG Images to Scale Image Sizes
The importance of SVG images has a special place when we talk about best practices in application development. It not only reduces the asset size but can also scale to any dimension keeping the quality of the image intact.
