Unless you are confident you make an entire app by yourself, it is often best to leave the job of making an Android app to competent Android app developers. With that said, here are some tips you can use in finding a good developer to make your Android app.
- · Java, which is the basis of all Android apps, imparts itself to compiler warnings that in turn are based on static analysis. And any bug or error that is fixed before the app reaches the market makes it more likely to get a higher user rating, it is highly recommended that you get Android app developers that use compiler warnings such as Findbugs as well as other static analyzers like PMD, of which the latter can be found as an Eclipse plug-in for Java.
- · Check if their apps consume a lot of power. When checking out apps made by a developer, find out if it has a low power mode or generally consumes a lot of power. A lot of Android app developers often do not put much focus on power consumption, despite the fact that apps that consume a lot of power are often avoided by users. However, skilled developers solve this problem by incorporating a low power mode in their apps or coding the app in such a way that it uses only minimal power unless it is brought in the foreground or when a user or an external application prompts it into action.
- · Are their apps huge? Some developers often try to attract clients by creating large apps packed with tons of features. But while apps that have lots of features do have a lot of functionality, it also comes at the cost of loading and performing slowly as they often take up a lot of resources. And in the competitive environment of the app industry, speed takes top priority than volume. Instead, look for Android app developers who make sleek apps that are still highly functional despite their minimalist design.
- Currently, the trend among Android app developers is to create apps that borrow one or two functions from other application, which in turn support Intent filter matches that allow it to provide functionality to other apps as well. This feature is especially helpful for those who want to incorporate social network services in apps. So if you want to have Facebook integration in your app, consider getting a developer that makes apps that borrow functionality from other applications
