When mobile OS market share was reduced up by Apple's iPhone, then Google decided to introduce a killer OS which is now the second most consumable mobile OS in the world. Google's Android have declared to be the most user friendly OS for Smart phones.
In a year of release of first Android Smartphone T-Mobile G1, enormous applications swamped the Android app market. Since Android is an open source software anyone can create applications for the device. This gave hope and opportunity to many developers to try their hands on the Google's new OS.
Google released an android application development kit which developers could access by downloading it. Android application developers started making money by selling their applications on and off the Android app market.
In order to become an Android application developer you should be well versed with programming languages. An android developer should write code from scratch and should have good idea about user interface design. If an application is very complex such that a user with novice experience in handling Smart phones cannot handle then the application will not be used much. Hence will coding an application a developer should keep the user in mind.
An application should also be visually appealing to users and should stand out of the crowd in order that it beats the huge competition among applications in the Android app market. A developer should know that Android devices come with varied screen sizes and resolutions hence an application looking good in one phone may not be as beautiful on another device.
Google updates the Android OS with newer versions of the OS as frequently as possible. This is to ensure that android users get the best from the device. A good android application developer should have enough skill to develop applications which are compatible with at least three versions of the Android OS.
This is because many devices come with older versions of the applications which may lead to broken applications when downloaded.
According to recent report developers polled android as the developers favorite in days to come. If you have want an application developed the best way is to contact an Android application developer who builds a custom application just for your business needs.
