This makes it easier to implement analytics, location-based features, cloud technologies, and other useful tools, and speeds up development.

Who needs Android app development?

An Android app is a valuable tool for most companies, regardless of their size and field of activity. In our article, we propose to consider the industries for which the development of such a service is most relevant:

• E-commerce. For e-commerce companies, Android apps offer great opportunities to increase sales and build customer loyalty. They allow users to easily find the products they need, place orders, and pay in just a few clicks. Plus, implementing features like push notifications, personalized recommendations, and loyalty programs helps brands effectively engage with their audience and provide a unique shopping experience.
• Financial services. Banks, insurance companies and other representatives of the financial sector widely use Android applications to improve customer service. Such solutions allow you to manage accounts, make transfers, pay for services and track financial activity using secure and intuitive interfaces, without the need to physically visit the company.

• Resilience to external changes. A mobile application helps a company quickly adapt to changing market conditions and customer preferences. It allows maintaining the availability of services even if physical points of sale or traditional interaction channels become less effective, which creates a sustainable and flexible business model.
• Investment in long-term growth. An Android app is a valuable asset that brings benefits in the long term. It can be expanded, updated, and integrated with new technologies, thereby supporting the company's growth at all stages.

What innovative technologies are available to you at AVADA MEDIA?

Creating a high-quality application for the Android platform requires the use of modern technologies and tools that ensure the stability of the service and allow it to be adapted to specific business needs. At AVADA MEDIA, we use the following solutions:

• Programming languages. The main languages for Android development are Java and Kotlin. Kotlin, as a modern language, is actively supported by Google and has become the standard for creating Android applications. Due to its conciseness and intuitive syntax, Kotlin development allows you to write cleaner and more maintainable code, which reduces the likelihood of errors and speeds up the development process.
• Server-side technologies. To ensure stable operation of the application, we build the server-side development using reliable programming languages such as PHP and Python, as well as their frameworks, such as Django, Flask and Laravel.
• Development environment. The standard tool for creating Android applications is Android Studio. This integrated environment provides modern tools for writing, testing and debugging code, including built-in emulators, performance analysis and support for various SDKs.
• Cross-platform technologies. To create applications that work not only on Android, but also on other platforms, we use the Flutter framework and the Dart language. For example, using these technologies, you can create a solution that will work simultaneously on Android and iOS, which saves time and resources.
• Libraries and frameworks: Popular libraries like Retrofit for working with APIs, Room for managing local databases, and Jetpack Compose for creating a modern user interface help speed up the development process and ensure stable operation of the application.
• Testing. To ensure high quality of applications, we use automated testing tools such as Espresso and JUnit, as well as Flutter Test for cross-platform solutions. These tools help identify and eliminate errors at the early stages of development.
• DevOps and CI/CD. To automate the build, testing and deployment processes, we use specialized tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions or Bitrise. This ensures prompt application updates and reduces the risk of errors in releases.
