What is the Android operating system?

Android is an open source operating system for mobile devices developed by Google and made available to Android Open Source Project members (e.g. hardware manufacturers such as Samsung) and has the largest installed base of any operating system.

How we develop your bespoke Android apps

We have been developing custom-made Android apps since the first stable version of Android back in 2009. We use over 20 years of custom app development experience to develop bespoke, secure, robust and scalable Android apps on time and on budget.

How we test the Android apps we develop

Testing your Android app is an integral part of the app development process because mobile Android apps run on various devices (smartphones, tablets & chromebooks) that can vary considerably in screen size, processing power, memory and connectivity.

How we apply Android app quality guidelines

Android users expect high-quality apps which directly influences the long-term success of your app in terms of engagement and user retention. We will put the Android apps we develop for you through a compact set of quality criteria and associated tests.

Saving data in a local Android database

Because we develop bespoke Android apps for businesses who may have users working in areas with no internet connectivity, any data from remote servers (e.g. job/site data) must persist locally on the app when they don't have an internet connection.

Keeping sensitive data safe in Android apps

It is of the utmost importance to us that we keep the data entered by users of our bespoke Android apps safe, secure and private (e.g. information they enter on forms or indeed photos, videos or signatures they take via the Android apps we have developed).

Android design guidelines

Android users expect the bespoke Android app we develop for you to look and behave in a way that's consistent with the platform (i.e. so the navigation, paging, scrolling, etc. look and feel the same as other Android apps they have on their device).

Android performance and battery drain

When developing your tailor-made Android app we need to make sure that the app uses as little battery power as possible, starts up quickly and responds quickly and gracefully to user swipes and clicks. Nobody wants to use a sluggish app or one that drains the battery!

Android app architecture for app-hopping

As opposed to classic desktop apps which open a default opening screen, Android apps contain many components and the user may be interrupted by a call and expects to resume the previous process. The Android apps we develop will handle these flows correctly.

Background work with Android WorkManager

WorkManager is an Android library that supports asynchronous one-off and periodic tasks as well as managing network conditions, storage space and charging status. It allows us to schedule the order that each background task is performed, even when the custom Android app we developed has been closed.

Android apps, staying cutting-edge

To develop low-cost, custom-made, state-of-the-art Android apps for our customers, we follow the 'Advanced Android Development' sessions created by the Android development training team at Google so we know the most secure and robust way to add the very latest, advanced features to our Android apps.

Android apps that run on Chromebooks

Optimising a bespoke Android app for the Chrome operating system offers big rewards in both usability and functionality. Allowing a custom Android app to handle keyboard and mouse input correctly can make the Android app accessible for users who have difficulty with typical smartphone interfaces.

Obtaining location data in Android apps

Most mobile devices can tell the device's current location and the custom-made Android apps which our Android app development team code for you can utilise this data to say stamp the longitude, latitude and time on photos taken via the app as well as passing location data back to server-based management systems.

Augmented reality apps for Android

ARCore is Google’s platform for building augmented reality apps on Android allowing your phone to sense its environment and enable multiple users to place virtual content in the same real world location that can be seen on different devices in the same position and orientation relative to the environment.
