Payment gateways. Maps. Authentication services. These off-the-shelf integrations not only accelerate the development process but also lead to a feature-rich app. 

QA and Testing

No mobile app development process is complete without rigorous quality assurance testing. Using a combination of manual and automation testing, we perform a thorough assessment of your Android app. Then, we work with the development team to resolve bugs and deliver a secure, performant app.

Android App Migration and Updates

Keep your app updated with the latest Android OS versions and device configurations. Incorporate new features, address security concerns, and optimize performance. We use tools like Kotlin Migration Assistant, Git, and Android Studio to maintain a smooth user experience.

Key Facts About Outsourcing Android App Development

Whether you need a single Android developer or an entire software development team, an external partner can work with you to accelerate timelines and deliver custom solutions.

Here are 6 benefits of outsourcing:

Access Specialized Expertise: It can be difficult to find the tech talent you need in your local area. When you cast a wider net, it’s easier to access senior specialists with niche skill sets. 

Accelerate Development: Experienced outsourced teams have established workflows in place to accelerate your app development. This means faster time to market.

Remain Compliant and Secure: Top outsourcing companies are knowledgeable about best security practices and compliance regulations. Adherence to these measures ensures that your Android app meets industry-specific regulatory requirements and modern security standards.

Retain Oversight: When you work with an outside software development company,  you'll retain control. You'll receive regular progress updates, no matter what outsourcing model you choose.

Achieve Scalability: Mobile development rarely follows a linear path—you need flexibility. With an external team, you can scale your engagement as needed.

Improve the User Experience: Software development isn’t just programming. Outsourcing partners can provide UX design services to make your app intuitive and delightful, as well as QA services to ensure the app is bug-free and secure.

Best Practices for Android App Development

Android has evolved considerably over the years. Here are some industry-standard best practices we follow for high-quality app development.

Part 1:Design

The design of an Android app is just as important as the development. Here's how we create an attractive, user-friendly app:

Prioritize the User Experience

We conduct in-depth user research to build intuitive, navigable, and user-friendly apps. This may involve surveys, focus groups, competitive analysis, persona development, and more.

Make It Responsive

Responsive design means that your app layout adapts to different screen orientations, resolutions, and sizes. We ensure that your Android app is responsive and looks beautiful, whether it’s on a Samsung tablet or Google Pixel phone.

Focus on Accessibility

We know that accessibility is a chief concern. We follow accessibility guidelines so that your Android app is usable by individuals with different abilities. Examples of accessible design features we've implemented include proper keyboard navigation, alt text for images, and system widgets.

Follow Material Design Guidelines

We follow Google's Material Design Guidelines, including components and principles, to build a cohesive, consistent, and visually appealing user interface.

Part 2: Implementation

Our approach begins with a plan based on your goals and requirements. We follow these guidelines to map out our development plan.

Follow Google Play Store Guidelines

We adhere to Google Play Store policies to ensure your app meets the necessary requirements.

Create a Solid Tech Stack

We use Java or Kotlin to build efficient Android applications. Kotlin is Google’s preferred language for Android development, while Java’s widespread use and rich libraries make it a strong contender for complex projects. Both are supported by Android Studio, a popular IDE for Android apps.

Use Android Architecture Components

Using Android Architecture Components, we implement architecture patterns like Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) or Model-View-Presenter (MVP). This improves app structure and Separation of Concerns (SoC).

Modularize Code

We follow the principles of modular programming by organizing the codebase into modular components, making it more maintainable and reusable.

Optimize for Performance

Leveraging background threads and keeping memory consumption low, we optimize your Android app for performance and responsiveness.

Document Exhaustively

Throughout development, we maintain comprehensive, up-to-date documentation for our codebase, functionality, and APIs.

Part 3: Testing

QA testing is crucial for ensuring the quality of an Android app. We create a comprehensive QA testing plan for maximum coverage.

Test Exhaustively

We conduct a variety of assessments, including unit, security, integration, and user acceptance tests. Our detailed plan outlines objectives, data, test cases, and testing environments.
 

Conduct QA Testing Early

The QA team is involved from the earliest development stages. We test and release the app early and incrementally. This allows us to avoid large-scale merge conflicts and problems debugging after extended periods of development.

Implement Automation and Manual Testing

Our test plan includes both automation and manual testing for comprehensive coverage. We automate test cases that are repetitive, such as regression and compatibility tests. Meanwhile, we use a manual approach for usability and exploratory testing.  

Test for different conditions.

It's important to test across different environments and conditions. That's why we evaluate the app's behavior under various network conditions, including 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, and low to no connectivity conditions. We also test across different Android OS versions.

100s of companies worldwide trust us for their Android services.

How does the choice of technology and tools affect the overall Android app development cost?

When developing your Android app idea, the selection of technology and tools plays a crucial role in determining the overall cost. Using advanced or cutting-edge technologies can offer enhanced features but may lead to higher costs due to licensing fees or the need for more specialized Android app developer skills. On the other hand, choosing open-source tools can be more cost-effective, though it might come with some limitations in functionality.
