Trends to follow for Android Mobile App Development

Tabs and Smartphones are today the most popular as well as adorable commodities in the world of web based devices. This popularity can be attributed to the diversity along with variety that you can find in these devices. The apps that these devices come up with, along with their value added features augment their functionality. This also helps users in communicating with more ease and comfort. Now when it comes to developing these devices the most common platforms are Android and iOS.

Speaking about comparing the two platforms, iOS has beaten Android in terms of usability or popularity. This is the trend that can be noticed in the world of mobile application designing. There is no room for any doubt that the iOS from Apple has clearly edged out Android and has become one of the most favored as well as adored apps for the elite classes or the top executives. Yet, thanks to the constant development along with face lifting, Android has become fastest growing mobile Operating System. In fact, it has elbowed out all the other competitors of late. This shift in the trend of development is very much apparent with the increase in the number of Android developers who are being hired by app development companies. Again, the fact that it is an open source app makes Android even more popular.

At present, the app development companies are giving more emphasis on design. This has been another shift in the trend that is noticed. Moreover, these companies are more inclined towards the use of latest technologies like NFC (Near Field Communication), when it comes to developing newer applications. Again, speaking about the designing trends that are hitting the headlines of late, it is the minimalist and clean interfaces that are getting more priority than anything else in the mobile app development fraternity.

Therefore, it is again a noticeable shift from the age old trend of putting more focus on interfaces doing a wide range of things at the same time over the top. The latest trend is putting more focus on keeping the content as well as the images clear and the user interface user–friendly as well as accessible. This helps the mobile devices to come up with larger as well as wider screen space. This also indicates that there is enough breathing space for the contents to appear.

Another noticeable shift in the trend has been putting more focus on the Geo-targeted push notifications, along with the advertisements that are getting increasingly popular in the mobile app designing fraternity. Developing location based applications and NFC Mobile application is another trend that is getting increasingly popular. These applications help to conduct various location-based offers, deals, or events and help in reaching out to the correct audience. However, the technology is relatively newer and hence there is an enormous potential for improvement as well as implementation of newer technologies.

Outsourcing is another trend that seems to dominate the horizon of mobile app development. Companies that are in need of mobile apps for conducting their business activities are putting more emphasis on outsourcing for increased generation of revenue. A lot of companies are growing a tendency to outsource various allied or ancillary operations to mainly the developing countries, thereby retaining and putting more emphasis on the core development activities.

Again, when we speak of the changing trend in outsourcing, companies are more looking forward to outsource their operations to the Latin American, African as well as Far Easter countries instead of India and China much because the economies of these two countries are growing and the labor is not any more that cheap in these two countries as it used to be in the past.

With the technology changing every now and then, the trends also change very fast in to order to keep pace with the changing technology. Thus, when seen from a rational point of view, it is a case of constant change in the trend in the world of mobile application development, much in tune with the changing technology.
