Android Application Development

In a technology driven world, it is imperative to stay on top of all the new developments and technologies. Android has become widely known as the next best thing in the mobile world, and as a true competitor for the top mobile device, the sophistication and possibilities of Android application development are ever increasing.As the faster growing platform in the mobile space, Android has established itself, it is here to stay.

Android mobiles are built on  an open-source platform. You may have heard about open-source before, why is it so important? We at Toronto Website Design believe that an application is much more likely to succeed when the community is able to band together, share ideas, and contribute content and code. Open-source promotes exactly that, a strong community that is proud of their accomplishments through collaboration, we learn a lot from the community and have a lot to teach as well.

Android Application development follows the same development cycles as any software development effort. You bring the vision and we help with the specification.  After the specification comes a design and a set of screens from the designer. We have some of the best mobile designers in the business. Coding follows design and we work to code it and do quality assurance testing before you ever see it. Once we have coded and tested then it’s your turn to kick the tires and see your vision brought to life.
These steps are largely the same as any system development process in use today – plan it, build it and test it.

So that’s it then?  Not really!  Each of these steps requires some level of knowledge of the Android mobile platform and mobile user’ expectations for apps and games.  For example when designing an app for Android where is the most optimal place to put an advertising banner?  We will show you.  When coding an app what is the best way to connect to a web service and pull content in?  We have done this many many times and will gladly guide you.  This is what we do all day every day so we know the score and are only too happy to share it with our customers – this is part of the value that we bring – experience and expertise combined.

When you are planning  to develop an Android app then we would be happy to work with you and share what we know.  Give us a call today to discuss your needs.
