Top 4 Android Frameworks

Android Frameworks:  The most daunting question that haunts app developers is with regard to selecting the right one from many Android frameworks. If an iOS app is to be turned into Android, then what framework to adopt to enable to app to work seamlessly.

The framework enables the app developers to take their mobile applications made with a particular ecosystem to another ecosystem and to make it functionally appropriate. Though they encounter difficulty in deploying the application, the greater difficulty that they encounter with regard to mobile app, is the framework because it makes the entire experience flexible and easy.

Why one Should Go With Android Frameworks?

Android is considered as the best operating system because of its flexibility! And the first choice operating system for app developers. The applications that are developed on Android platform can be used on numerous devices.

Following are some of the best ones that one can use:

Ionic Framework

The top open source framework for building amazing mobile apps.
Ionic is the beautiful, free and open source mobile SDK for developing native and progressive web apps with ease..

Started with just a css framework it has evoved very fast to include a Ionic CLI and now ionicDB
The Ionic Framework command line utility makes it easy to start, build, run, and emulate Ionic apps
IonicDB is a secure, cloud hosted, real-time database. ... be comfortable working with data like it was with Parse

Appcelerator Titanium

Appcelerator Titanium is the biggest mobile app development framework. It enables one to develop native mobile applications from a single JavaScript code base. The framework has its official website and it claims that more than 345,577,760 devices running with Appcelerator-powered applications. Greatest facility it provides is the mobile test automation. This is a manual testing, which is time-intensive.

Adobe PhoneGap Build

This is a must have android development framework. It is sponsored by Adobe and Apache. The PhoneGap developer application enables people to instantly see changes. In addition to this, it is a cross-platform application, supporting HTML5, CSS and JavaScript development.

CoronaSDK

CoronaSDK is a good mobile app development framework that can be used to develop exceptionally good applications. With this framework, development is not done in any standard language, but in Lua it is easy to adapt. Though the framework is most commonly used by game developers, it can be used for other kinds of applications as well. With more than 500 APIs and a native UI support, CoronaSDK is hard to resist.

These are the top 4 Android frameworks that can be used for application development that every mobile app developer should try. If one is still finding it difficult hire experienced app development company to do so.

Android O Preview now

Google had released Android O Preview for developers, so that they can test their applications on the new OS to get ready whenever this new version of Android becomes publicly available. The Android O has the following important features:
1. API changes
2. Notification channel
3. Picture-in-picture
4. Autofill
5. Adaptive icons and More Background limits, among others.

Main features Android O:

1. Background Limits: Android O brings in background limits to improve battery life and performance. They set new limits to implicit broadcasts, location updates and background. So the services running in the background are stopped after a few minutes. This OS enables Apps using such services to be placed on a temporary wait list for a future time by which time they can launch services without limitations. This is helpful when applications need to handle a task that is visible to the user, such as a high-priority message, when receiving a broadcast, or when executing a pending intent from a notification.

2. Regarding location updates, the apps in the background will set limits to receive updates only several times each hour. Applications can change this behavior by bringing the application to the foreground, using a foreground service, using the Geofencing API, or location listener.

3. Notification Channels: With this new feature Android O users will have more control over notifications by the introduction of channels. These channels can arrange messages from multiple applications, and it allows the user can enable/disable a channel, or effect one of its settings: Importance, Sound, Lights, Vibration, Visibility on the lock screen. Notifications can be accorded a priority. There are seven Importance levels of the channel determining how a notification is displayed and what noise, light or vibration is associated with it. Channels can be grouped across multiple user accounts. This is useful for managing channels on devices used both for work and personal use.

4. Picture-in-picture (PIP): This feature is already available on Android TV, PIP is brought now to Android enabling activities to be shown within other activities. PIP is a special case of multi-window introduced in Android N. It is especially useful to play video content in it.

5. Autofill framework: Android O is available with a framework that applications can use to autofill forms and save data in order to save users time and avoid repeating form-filling operations. Examples include working with login data or credit card information.

6. Multi-display: It enables developers to move activities from one display to another on devices with multiple displays.

7. Adaptive icons: Launchers on various devices will be able to show icons that have different shapes: round, square, squircle, or others. Android O builds launcher icons from two image layers, one for background and one for foreground, and a mask. These icons support visual effects.

8. Java. Android O includes java.time from OpenJDK 8 and java.nio.file and java.lang.invoke from OpenJDK 7. It speeds up the runtime performance by 2x on some benchmarks.

9. Other features in Android O include: font resources in XML, wide-gamut color for apps, high-quality Bluetooth audio codecs, WiFi Aware, keyboard navigation, WebView enhancements, etc..

This version of Android is a preview; it is not completely stable and subsequent versions will be issued over the following months. Android Studio 2.4 Canary is needed to develop a mobile app using Android O. The new version of Android can be tested in the emulator or several Nexus and Pixel devices.

We are yet to get a handle on one :(

Cost of mobile android app development in India, peep into intricacies

Cost of a mobile android app development vastly depends on the complication it involves and how much of existing design is used. There are so many ready made design features available. Further it depends on the experience of the coder. An experienced developer can fix the code very quickly taking relatively lesser time to design a mobile app to the customer's satisfaction.

It should be remembered that while calculating cost of mobile app two types of approaches should be remembered. They are that of an architect and a novelist.

Scope of app development

Construction of a home, can either be a simple home or a dream home. Simple home consists of straight lines and regular corners, that is quick and easy. If an architect is given the task of building such an app, it will be easy for him. In this similar modality the cost of a mobile app may be less and it can be made in a double quick time also.

On the other hand a dream home would attract more painstaking effort. The architect is expected to come out with a mobile app that will match that of a dream house. He will use the latest materials and techniques to create a free-flowing, complex design, even though it will be expensive to build. In this circumstance, coder’s job is like a novelist, who starts writing a novel on paper or use a word processor without any ready made frames in mind. First they have a blank screen. Everything that is to appear in your app, visually and functionally, now has to be written in code, XML  and Java in Android. So the Android developer /  coder must spend hours drafting these lines of code, just as a novelist must spend hours writing their prose. In this case the cost of mobile app may be higher. There will always be a minimum amount of time involved.

What is explained in a simple way above is if the app has to be built with limited budget, it is better to focus on one core feature, use or incorporate existing interface designs. Open source code samples are readily available in code repository sites like GitHub and Bitbucket. The output will be a Minimum Viable Product- a MVP , just a validation of idea.

Geography for app development 

If one builds their mobile app in India cost of mobile app will be relatively cheaper as the dollar is 67 Rs as on writing.

It is advantageous to have the developing team to be familiar with time zones . Geographical separation is not an impediment to developing a great smart phone app.

Platform & Category for App development

Following table will give an approximate idea about popular types of apps by category, estimating the number of hours each might take an experienced developer to build for an iPhone or Android device.  The cost difference, higher costs for Android is because the app must be tested for multiple different devices and versions of the operating system; this not only takes longer, but bugs are more common.

With Android, by only supporting specific versions of the operating system and certain devices one can reduce the amount of extra work involved. This cuts cost of mobile app enormously.

Android M and #AndroidDeveloper

Time to think on what Android M has in store for Android Developers.

 Right on schedule, Android M arrived at Google I/O 2015

“We’re working incredibly hard to release our most polished Android release to date,” said Dave Burke, Google’s vice president of engineering for Android.

1. Android M will offer users finer-grained control over app permissions.
    # Maybe helps us in android programming not needing to give those inane replies to people downloading the apps that the permissions are necessary for the ad network  etc

2.Apps that give users links on the Web will now have the ability to create in-app Chrome Tabs, rather than launching the Chrome app separately.
  #We have already had that with cross platform app development wonder kits!

3.Android Pay is Google’s new mobile payments service to compete with Apple Pay. It will work at any payment terminal equipped with NFC
  # Need to fiddle and learn how to develop Android apps with NFC! and new mobile application development tools.

4.Android M will also bring fingerprint support to apps
  # Is it needed?

5. Android M will bring a new power-saving feature to devices called Doze

6.Micro USB will disappear from Android devices as Google is bringing in USB Type C support

7.What else is in new in Android M?
      Auto Backup and Restore for Apps

8.Noticeable visual changes to Android M is the new app drawer. This now scrolls vertically instead of horizontally.

9. New RAM manager for Android M with the aim of providing users with more accurate and comprehensible information regarding the maximum and average RAM usage of apps.

10.Adoptable Storage Devices is Google's new storage feature which essentially takes an external storage source (such as an SD card or USB drive) and formats it like an internal storage space. Also wrapped in a layer of encryption to soothe security concerns.
# Great for Android developers as customers can hoard more apps. Space is no more a problem!And so it helps the app creator with newer application development services.

11. Google Now has been improved upon once again in Android M. Focusing on three key ares: being aware of different contexts, providing answers and helping you take action, Google Now is now smarter than ever.
# Ugh, soon that will affect other apps.

12. Chrome is also leaner and faster than ever before.
   # Great for the Android app developer making browser based games and cross platform.

13. Google pulled the wraps off its new Google Photos service.
   # Need not use imgurl!

Official release is set to hit devices starting in the third quarter of 2015.
