Don’t Let These Silly Mistakes Affect The Quality & Performance of The Android App Developed by You

03/26/2018 We ourselves are the victims of mobile apps’ blunders. Whether you like it or not, cartoon faces, stomping flamenco dancers and applauding hands have now entered your social life, albeit digitally. But no matter from which corner the issue sprouts up, it’s time to equip yourself with the information on how to avoid these mistakes in your app development career.
Have you ever dreamt of your idea becoming the next big thing in the mobile app development space? I am sure you must have thought about creating apps like what App, SnapChat that has enough potential turn startups into multibillion-dollar ventures. Whatever your idea is, proper implementation is something that matters the most. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. App development can be tricky at times, and there is always a huge scope for overdoing or underdoing things. The following post emphasizes on a few mistakes that must be avoided by professionals in 2018 and more.
Developing for iOS
Chances are there that you might not have detected this till date, it’s kind of reducing based on the taste of present android users, and now almost each and every user have fallen out of love with IOS and feel they shouldn’t be defining the market anymore. However, we might still get to see fractions of work in a new application being developed and being cloned by an Android developer. Some of the most copy paste work includes:

  • Making of tabs for an application that seems to be a fraction of IOS, especially static tabs that is located at the bottom of the applications alone.
  • Placing of application icon inside a round rectangle unless it’s the original logo for the application
  • A special color is given to system notifications which shouldn’t be.

Developing for Android
If you have ever worked closely with an Android app development company in India then I am sure you must be well aware regarding the fact that developing an android device is developing an application that works for just a specific product alone. By doing this, the application looks like a system application instead of the common user application. Down below I would like to mention a few pointers to consider while developing one:
  • The (DP) Density-independent pixels are different compared to the normal pixel (px)
  • Most resources used for developing application are repeated sometimes to get a clearer view, better density, and orientation. This is not defined, it varies.
  • But the best solution to this is getting different tools that can help you build applications that would work all rounds for any device whatsoever.

Are you using intents?
Being a crucial android device component, intent deals with the passing of data between different part of the application being developed or different application on the device. What I mean is, you may have a message application on your phone but a good intent is all about connecting the app to others so as they can interact flawlessly.
A good intent will save an Android developer’s time and energy by reducing the quality of codes to be written, but linking of applications to each other will reduce stress in a long-term run.
Not using fragments
Fragments is nothing but the elements which represent behavior or just a portion of user interface in an activity. In general, fragments are embedded into an activity and the lifecycle of these fragments is directly being affected by its host activity life cycle. The only problem is that when an application requires launching different activities for it to work perfectly, this becomes inefficient and will have a negative effect on the performance of the device.
Therefore, while developing an application, reasonably attaching fragments or its processes as much as possible will help devices run faster, but if not done, devices that run the latest version of software developed by such android developer will end up getting spoilt before their expiring date.
Reinventing the Wheel

Reinventing the wheel deals with changing the shape to something else. Although it can be considered as a bad idea as not all roads will accommodate the new wheel. Similarly, reinventing the wheel of an application poses more problem than solving them, developers are either building their own process or just editing what has been done before, either way, they are changing something in the Android development process. A user once said, “Contrary to main beliefs, the main advantage of reinventing the wheel is that it gives you full control over the software”. So what can be done is that before picking your tools and start cooking codes, pause and just do a little research
