It’s hard to deny the role that Android OS has in the marketplace. With Android’s market share of overall OS platforms expected to reach 90% market share in 2017, the sheer scope of users that run Android means that you can no longer disregard developing apps for it.While Newpath WEB specialises in Android apps development in Australia, if you want to give it a go yourself first, we’ve outline the process you’ll need to go through in order to make your killer app.
Android Studio
Android Studio is the integrated development environment for the Android Platform. While Android is an open platform, meaning third-party applications can be installed on devices, developing your app on Android’s own platform is ideal for ensuring the highest quality product.
The Birth
The steps required to build a project and begin working on it are remarkably simple. After downloading Android Studio, you simply create a new project, give it a name and provide your business website domain.
Following that, you must keep all default values and click finish. Review the critical files, ensuring that the following files are present:
• app > java >com.example.myfirstapp> MainActivity.java
• app > res > layout > activity_main.xml
• app > manifests > AndroidManifest.xml
• Gradle Scripts >build.gradle
If these are all present, congratulations, the nucleus of your new app is born!
Baby Steps
Once the app is born, you can then run it on a mobile or tablet device, as well as an emulator on your computer. This is to ensure that any changes you make are live on the app itself.
Once you’ve done that, you must build a simple user interface. When the app is first created, it shows a page with a piece of text. You then must build a button around the text that leads to a second page, and from there the app will continue to grow.
Now for the Hard Part
Honestly, we can’t tell you how to build the type of app you want; there are simply so many variations on the different types of apps, and the truly great ones haven’t even been built yet.
If you think that you have a truly great idea, rely on a company offering fantastic android apps development in Australia, like Newpath WEB, to take your vision and turn it into the perfect piece of software.
