Android App Development Services

The Android app development ecosystem includes a wide range of programming languages, frameworks, and tools that cater to different development styles and requirements. It is because of this that DevTeam.Space offers a comprehensive range of Android App development services, including the most popular technologies that we have included below.

The specific technologies that you choose for your Android-powered project will depend on your unique development requirements. If you need help with this or are looking for expert developers, then simply submit your project request and get a complimentary discovery call with one of our tech account managers.

To give you a better idea of some of the leading technologies that we use in Android development, we have put together this brief list and included some of the reasons that our Android app developers love using them so much.

4. Kotlin
5. Java
6. JavaScript
7. C

Flutter for Android App Development

Flutter is one of the most popular cross-platform frameworks that can be used for custom Android app development. Given that this framework allows developers to build applications for both Android and iOS at the same time using a single Dart codebase, it doesn’t take a genius to work out why so many companies choose to use it to develop their apps.

Our developers love Flutter because:

1. Flutter uses Dart, an object-oriented language developed by Google. Dart is optimized for UI development and provides features like ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation and doesn’t rely on the libraries shipped with each device but rather its in-built rendering engine to draw widgets.
2. Flutter’s hot reload feature allows developers to instantly see the changes they make to the code, without restarting the application. This significantly speeds up the development process and enables faster iteration.
3. Flutter provides a highly efficient rendering engine that enables smooth, high-performance animations, transitions, and scrolling. It leverages the Skia graphics library and eliminates the need for platform-specific UI components.

React Native for Android App Development

React Native is a popular open-source cross-platform framework developed by Facebook. It allows developers to build native mobile applications for the Android OS using the JavaScript language and React, an open-source, front-end JavaScript library.

Again, because of the cross-platform nature of this framework, we are seeing more and more of our clients coming to us to request React Native developers.

Our developers love React Native for the following reasons:

1. React Native uses a bridge that enables communication between JavaScript and native components, which results in high-performance mobile applications. Compared to hybrid frameworks, React Native apps have “native-like” performance as they render UI components using the platform’s native APIs. Note: If you hope to get native-like performance from your React Native app then you will need to hire expert developers.
2. Similar to Flutter, React Native also supports hot reload, allowing developers to see the changes they make to the code instantly.
3. As a popular open-source framework, React Native has robust support for third-party libraries, allowing developers to easily incorporate existing libraries for various functionalities.

Android SDK

Android SDK was developed by Google to allow developers the tools that they need to build powerful Android applications.

Our developers love that it comes with a huge number of libraries and development tools that can be used to build all kinds of Android applications. It comes as no surprise then that our developers use it daily.

Some great features of Android SDK include:

1. Android SDK comes with a huge load of great build and debugging tools. Some particular favorites include Android Studio, Android Debug Bridge, and Systrace.
2. Google has too many API services to count, including Google Maps SDK, Sign-In, Pay, Fit, etc. These help our developers to speed up the development process and to avoid bugs, etc.
3. While being another tool, Android Emulator is worth a separate mention as it allows mobile app developers to create virtual Android devices so that they can test applications with different device configurations. Our developers find this tool nothing less than a godsend.

There is an old developer joke that goes like this: “We find the bug, we fix the bug, now we have two bugs, now we have three bugs…” This joke explains why our developers love Android SDK, and particularly Android Emulator so much.

That said, all of the above examples are very fine tools indeed.

Choosing the specific technologies for your Android app development project will depend on your unique requirements.
