How I Know Who the Best Android Developer Is

Is hiring Android Developers so tough? What should I Keep in mind?

With 80% of the market share, Android is the world’s leading mobile OS. Android allows you to create robust applications and games which can get you tons of downloads and installs. But you already know that, don’t you? Here’s something you might not have known – really good Android developers are pretty hard to find. There’s a lot of Android developers in the market but most of them aren’t even half decent.

 

The Basics

 

You need to have some knowledge in the mobile and digital sphere. If you don’t, leaping into an Android app development project can be treacherous. You must go through the portfolios of the companies you are choosing from.

 

These are the basic to-dos. Let’s dig a little deeper and find the not-so well-known reasons.

 

The Details

 

1. Fundamental skill set is the key. And when we say fundamental skill set, we mean in-depth knowledge of Java, SQL, and Eclipse IDE. Knowledge of Java is also crucial for the Android SDK or Software Development Kit.

 

1. Your app needs a killer UI/UX design in order to succeed. In the glut of run-of-the-mill mobile apps development, only a killer UI/UX design can help your app stand out. Look for Android developers that don’t settle for good. Scourge the portfolios of as many mobile apps development companies as you can until you find something amazing.

 

1. You need comprehensive product lifecycle development.

 

1. Android apps reside in an extremely fragmented world where they have to adhere to various types of devices. While the API rules in Android are not as stringent as in iOS, the quality assurance testing is far more rigorous. Make sure the mobile apps development company is capable of handling that.

 

1. Keep Android wearables in mind when choosing your Android developers. Wearable technology has begun to gain traction. The biggest benefits of wearables, according to 54% of early adopters, are that they provide better safety, promote a healthier lifestyle, and sheer ease of use. But, due to the very small screen size, adding anything other than the core functionalities is still difficult and troubleshooting becomes lengthy. Developers need to get creative. Bear these things in mind and interview the mobile apps development companies in detail about how they can help you with Android wearable development.

 

1. A mindset of embracing change is necessary. Apple came up with a brand new programming language named Swift which brings the best features of multiple programming languages like Python, C#, Ruby etc. Android will probably do something similar in the future to replace Java. When it does, your Android developers better be ready to improve your app to run smoothly on the devices of the time.

 

 

Everything we know about apps is going to change. Things are changing rapidly. Smartphones and tablets are no longer the go-to engines for apps as more and more televisions, cars and homes come with apps of their own. Even the viability of paid app downloads will change. And in-app purchases and subscription services will affect that change. So keep these things in mind and hire a mobile apps development company accordingly.
