Android Development

With over 3.8 million Android apps out there, your product needs to make an impact on the Google Play Store and reach as many users as possible – in the easiest way possible. To make your product special and stand-out, you need a pretty special development team with stand-out expertise and creativity. That’s us.

Featuring your product on the Google Play Store gives you a huge competitive advantage, as your users will have quicker and easier access to your product than through a web-based app.

We know that the majority of users retrieve their content from their mobile devices, so having an easily accessible app that can be stored on a users device then holds a lot more retention than a responsive website would.

This part of the process depends on your choice to go fully native or use a hybrid app. For a fully native app, the frontend is created within Android Studio as specific views and then designed to cater to different devices based on the layouts set within the XML. For a hybrid-based app, the frontend is done in a web platform that’s then displayed to the app using Turbolinks.

Taking the views set up, we’d create HTML and Javascript to display the data. For a native app we’d write the code to link to the XML component set in Java; for a hybrid it would depend on the web framework, but for the majority of our projects we use the Ruby on Rails framework.
