Android Application Development

As per the studies, thousands of new mobile applications are submitted to Google every day. Well, having said that, a sudden upsurge of smartphones and their apps have influenced the performance of the global market and businesses to a large extent and made it an imperative part of our existence. In this article, I will focus primarily on Android Application Development and will explain what goes into the formulation of a great app.

 

Originally developed by Android Inc. and later bought by Google in the year 2005, Android has become a widely chosen platform for application development. Based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and several other open-source software, Android was ideally designed for touchscreen devices such as smartphones and tablets. Not only that, this spectacular mobile operating system does not differentiate between the phone’s core applications and third-party applications. The feature which makes it above others is that they can all be built to have equal access to a phone’s capabilities providing users with a broad spectrum of applications and services. Android provides access to a wide range of useful libraries and tools that can be used to build feature-rich applications.

 

If we essentially talk about the transformation it has brought in our lives and how the mobile applications have proved to be a boon for every kind of industries, it would probably take ages to lend out the micro details. Looking at the breadth of capabilities that Android holds, this multi-layered environment inculcates everything that you would expect from a highly-evolved operating system. No wonder why Android Application development is so much in demand these days!

Fundamentals Of Android Application Development

 

When you want to start your journey with Android App development, there are quite a few things that you have to keep in mind. Needless of the moving pieces of how the applications get morphed from source code to the running code, in this perspective, there are some fundamentals that you need to understand when getting underway with Android development.

 

An Android application may consist of one or more classifications as mentioned below:

  • Services- You can use any service for an application that needs to keep flowing for a long amount of time such as update-checking applications or a network monitor.
  • Activities- Any application that encompasses a visible user-interface is implemented with the help of activities. Whenever you select any app from the application launcher or Home Screen, an activity is started.
  • Content Providers- The simplest way to visualize a content provider is to look at them as a database server. Their primary job is to manage permissions to the persisted data, such as the contact information on the phone.
  • Broadcast Receivers- You can seamlessly launch an Android application in order to respond to an event or process a specific element of data, such as receiving an SMS.

Some Surprising Facts About Android Mobile Device Users

 

Mobile applications have honestly become a vital tool that contributes to the overall success of your business. Here are the facts that strongly affirm to what I just said-

  • Smartphones are owned by 8 out of 10 internet users.
