Why Businesses Should Consider Building Android Apps
A Android app is a type of software application that runs on the Android platform, which is a mobile operating system. Android apps are developed using the Java programming languages and core libraries, and then they are compiled to run on an Dalvik virtual computer that is optimized for mobile devices. Android apps are released and distributed through the official Google Play Store. This store is a place to download free and premium applications.
The Android platform comes with extensive tools, documentation and resources to developers to create and test their applications. It also supports multi-tasking that allows users to perform various tasks at once and switch between them seamlessly. Android applications also come with various graphics options, including 3D and 2D graphics. This makes it easy to develop and deploy visually captivating applications on the platform.
In contrast to iOS which is a closed ecosystem that restricts how apps can be used and developed, Android offers developers more freedom in the way they design and create their apps. This allows developers to create various applications, with varying the functionality and design. The fact that Android apps can be installed across a wider range of device types and OS versions allows developers to connect with more people through their apps.
In addition that the cost of creating an app for Android is much lower than iOS. For instance, signing up to be an Apple developer costs $99 annually, whereas beginning with Android only costs $25. This enables businesses to quickly start their app and begin making money.
