Read More :- Android Tablet App—Market Getting Maturity
Most of the clients who opt for Android application development put priorities on the cost and in most cases time to market. This very things are targeted by outsourcing companies in their manifesto as utmost priorities and many are never run a second thought and go for the lowest bid and shortest time so let's think about the ensue. The first impact is technical debt means you have to pay more than the original cost at later stage. This is mainly due to many Android developers take route of short cuts in coding so we can say an intentional technical debt or sometime making mistakes due to over burden or pressure to finish earlier than it really need time so we can say that an unintentional technical debt. _ This way greedy clients are become victimized of the technical debt and the foolish developers are doing them more harm than good. In real term we can say that the technical debt is the thing that the project is technically incomplete though it seems completed at first glance and we developers have to finish it by doing extra efforts to complete that Android application development. If we dig deep to know about the technical debt we can analyze the true picture of the damage what it is doing and so we can find out the ways to minimize anyhow. First thing is that when we choose the wrong technology for the Android application development in order to finish the project rapidly here I mean not Android technology itself but frameworks, architecture, tools, 3rd party supports and other techniques and tricks. As stated if we choose wrong architecture specially in case of big and complex projects we will end up with scaling the application and investment of lots of time to solve the problems as we have to deal with several layers to communicate to each other so it becomes huge task to tackle.

By and large testing is an unavoidable devil in any sort of software development and it has significant importance in Android Application Development as there are plenty of hardware fragmentation exists in the Android devices whether it may smartphones or tablets. These variations found in:
-> Screen size and resolution -> Version -> Form factor -> The presence of front-facing camera, NFC, external keyboard, etc. I think there are nearly four hundred types of android devices are out in the handheld devices market! And you need to test on the devices that your target audience is using the most. When you are going to test manually your application created in Android application development you need to set up your application in the device and carefully check the all functionalities. Once this process finished you have to return the device on its original state. The same action you have to repeatedly perform for each selected device. Generally we perform regular testing on the night and analyze the data on the day time therefore, testing can suck your most of the time even if you have a separate tester the process is extremely time consuming and daunting for anyone. Therefore, we need to have some automation techniques to perform this testing tasks in Android application development so you can get accurate results keeping the quality of your products and economically in terms of time and money both. We can automate the testing of Android applications using the Android SDK and some opensource tools. Once you run automation of testing you need to collect and analyze the testing data such as logs and screen shots at each step and the testing tools will generate the test results for these data. Android is gradually getting grip over the smartphone market. With the increasing number of devices demand for various Android Apps Development increasing, customers getting maturity and expect apps with quality and usability. This makes job for developers more tough and challenging. Here in this post I did try to give some hints to ease the task of developers.
Apply global theme A theme can save you from changing styles for every Activity in your app. You should use the built-in Light or Dark themes depending upon the look and feel for your app. You can tweak some of those styles in sub-activities if needed. Create flexible layouts Due to opensource Android hardware is available in various screen sizes so overcome the problem of multiple screen sizes you should develop flexible layouts which can stretch their content to fit the screen. You can use “fill_parent” and “wrap_content” in the layout xml the content of your application adapt to the screen size automatically. Use “runOnUiThread()” During running threads in your application you need to display something to the user, the application won’t actually display anything unless it is call from the main thread so in this situation you can use “runOnUiThread()” to ensure that the code is running UI. Use selectors, not images To set the background for buttons and lists we use image file. Since Android had multiple size of screen it won’t work properly so we should create a custom selector in xml that details what should display when screen is different. Given hints above can be proved helpful during Android app development. Read More:- Android Application Developer—Creator of Incredible Applications |
