How to create a good Android APP

Whether you're an app developer, want to be one, or just have an Android phone, you've noticed that there are thousands of apps on the Google Play Store. Some of them have heaps of reviews and have been downloaded thousands of times, while others are somewhere low and have few or no downloads. Why is that?

First, Google, the company behind the Android operating system, has a full set of standards that you must meet if you want to release Android apps on the Play Store.

Understanding the needs of your users

Often, developers sit in front of a screen, developing and deploying applications. However, the most successful applications are built with the user's perspective in mind. Often developers have strong coding skills but publish poorly designed interfaces. Remember that the user is not interested in the lines of code you wrote, they are interested in the interface and functionality. If you are not a good designer, then work with a professional. 

Use Android and follow the trends

Strangely, many Android developers are not Android users. Android apps are often just ported from iOS apps. Follow the Android communities and forums to connect with like-minded people. As you know, Android is a product of Google. Sometimes Google releases updates for its operating system. For example, with the release of Android 7.0 Nougat, you can develop apps that can multitask. Multitasking allows apps to split the device screen and run multiple apps at the same time. Watch out for these opportunities.

Always develop for multiple devices

Android gives users the freedom to choose to work across devices, with countless different viewport sizes. As a developer, you need to make sure your app is well-designed on as many devices as possible. 

Check your application

As a professional developer, you never want to release an application without testing it. It is so?
