Mobile application development on Android
Creating Android applications is a set of developed modules combined into a single native, hybrid or web application of the Android operating system, the implementation of which takes place in compiled or interpreted programming languages.
Owners of smartphones on this operating system number about 2.5 billion users. The audience covers almost all corners of the world and different social groups. This opens up enormous opportunities for promoting a brand, services and products.
You need to order the ZTP WebSet application if you:
  • 1
    You have a business idea and want to implement it as soon as possible
  • 2
    You are the owner of an offline business or website and need to create a mobile application specifically for it
  • 3
    You don’t want to take risks and entrust such an important task to freelancers

What business opportunities does Android software development offer?

FOR CORPORATE SITES
Maintaining a full-scale web portal is often accompanied by a number of costs for a business: it is necessary to maintain and support the resource, and also to attract specialized specialists for this. The mobile version allows you to automate basic business processes and become closer to customers than competitors. You will also receive quick feedback from all parts of the company.
FOR ONLINE STORES
An application is an effective tool for selling goods and services, which can be main or auxiliary. Opportunities: increased repeat sales, promptly informing customers about promotions, discounts, etc.
FOR STARTUPS
Not sure who your target audience will be? Don’t worry, among the 2.5 billion users of Android gadgets, there will definitely be your audience. Adjustments can be made at any time to improve efficiency - we guarantee flexibility and thorough analytics during the creation process.

Stages of creating and developing applications on Android

1
IDEA THE PRODUCT
To ensure that the application fully meets its objectives, we provide free consultations with the client and a thorough business examination.
2
PROJECT ASSESSMENT AND ANALYTICS
The cost of creating the application is estimated. We then refine the android product concept through in-depth analysis.
3
DESIGN
Our company works according to the principle of individual approach to every client. This method allows us to achieve success in problems of all levels.
4
DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING
Perhaps one of the most important stages is programming an Android application in a language that will allow the created program to work quickly and smoothly. We also evaluate the stability of operation, quality of design, ease of use, etc.
Our guarantees
When you contact ZTP WebSet, you get a guarantee of results. All our obligations and your rights are specified in the service agreement, which we conclude before starting work. In addition to the development itself, you get:

  • setting up analytics services;
  • product placement on Google Play Market;
  • maintenance of the application after its creation.
What determines the cost of a mobile application for Android
The final price for developing applications for Android can be announced only after all stages have been agreed upon with the customer and the corresponding contract for the creation of the application has been signed. The price may also change if the customer considers it necessary to make changes at some stage.
If you decide to order an Android application, then you should not think that its cost is taken from space. In most cases, the cost of creating an application depends on the hours spent and the complexity of development. When calculating the time spent, companies multiply the number of hours by the cost of an hour of specialist work.
In addition, the final price is influenced by the composition of the specialists involved and the costs of promoting the project after its release.
The most expensive elements of an Android mobile application:
  • The amount of data embedded in the Android application
    This item includes all graphic and text data of the mobile application. Displaying a massive amount of data requires much more effort because the smartphone screen is different in size from web pages. The designer designs how all this will be displayed, and programmers and layout designers implement it in code. In order to implement this task, it is necessary to record what data the android application will contact the server (API). After which all this needs to be tested.
  • Backend
    Development of the server part of the program (if necessary), storing the database and logic of the application being created and transferring them to the client side in accordance with the API.
  • Number of user types
    For example, if you order an Android application with several types of users (customer and contractor), then it is necessary to develop a unique interface for each user: design development of the Android application, layout of screens, implementation of business logic.
  • Implementation of third party devices
    Existing gadgets are saturated with an abundance of additional components such as NFS chips, barometers, all kinds of sensors, etc. In order for them to interact with the application code without errors, time is required, and this is an additional cost.
  • Integration of third-party services
    Sometimes development for Android requires the integration and coherence of third-party libraries, services and frameworks. For example, the ability to pay by card or share content with other applications.
  • Element customization
    In most cases, to change an interface element, designers use operating systems guidelines for designing the interface of mobile applications (gadlines). But if we decide to create a unique design for mobile application elements that is different from the one that the OS offers us, then we will have to create the element from scratch.

Technologies used - Java / Kotlin

JAVA

The main and perhaps one of the most popular languages ​​for programming applications on Android, according to Stackoverflow, is Java, which has been occupying a leading position in this segment for several years. ZTP WebSet adheres to the same policy, choosing it as the base language when creating mobile applications for Android.
Java is an object-oriented programming language that is used for most Android applications.

ADVANTAGES:
  • Community
  • Huge and authoritative communities (Github, Stack Overflow) from which we receive valuable information about new technologies and Java updates.
  • Cross-platform
  • Java code written on the Java Virtual Machine will run on any hardware platform.
  • Ready resources
  • Due to Java being the native language of Android, it has the distinct advantage of having ready-made libraries to ease the process of developing Android applications.

MINUSES:
  • Problematic performance
  • Compared to other languages, Java is slower due to the large amount of memory required to run properly.
  • Difficulty writing code
  • Java code is quite long compared to other languages, so it takes more time to write, and accordingly more errors and bugs are detected.

KOTLIN

The Kotlin programming language, created in 2016 company JetBrains, has become a new era in the development of programs for Android. ZTP WebSet has always been a supporter of new ideas and solutions, so we actively use all the innovations of the Kotlin language.

ADVANTAGES :
  • High performance
  • The syntax of the Kotlin language is quite compact and logically understandable, which greatly affects the speed of work.
  • Full interaction with Java
  • A big advantage for both developers and companies with a huge Java codebase.
  • 100% compatible with all versions
  • Kotlin from the latest version is fully backward compatible with previous versions.

MINUSES :
  • Unstable compilation speed
  • The speed of code compilation is not always constant and can sometimes vary, either increasing or decreasing performance.
  • A little community support
  • Due to the fact that Kotlin is a fairly young language, it has not yet gained the support of large communities, but we are ready to take on any project, even if a huge number of unanswered questions arise during the work.
The cost of developing an application on android starts from 2,850 €
