Step By Step Process of Creating An Android Application

Android apps have gained much popularity owing to the flexibility and ease they offer. They are hot favorite and have already captured the smart phone apps world. Android is the most preferred platform for all mobile apps developers across the world. Creating applications on android platform is cost-effective as android is open source. Developers need not pay any licensing fees for using Android. They can also modify the source code in order to create unique applications as per the requirements of the clients. As they serve more number of clients belonging to various business categories, they gain more experience and knowledge regarding the apps development process. In this article, I will discuss with you the step by step process of creating an app.

A platform utilizes different terminologies to describe the components or parts of its application. The three main classes on the Android platform are Context, Activity and Intent. There are also other sophisticated components. However, these three are the building blocks used for creating each and every new Android application.

An Android app is nothing but a collection of tasks. Each task is referred to as activity.

Every activity, within an app, has a unique purpose as well as user interface. Developers can implement any user interface they wish. Strictly speaking, on an android platform there are no real user interface requirements. Only thing required is that the application must be stable, responsive, and work in sync with the overall android system. The best android apps are the result of the developer’s experience in creating apps in different business segments. They help in enhancing the existing experience with exciting user interfaces. When required, it becomes important to improvise these features or reinvent them. This will ensure that the user doesn’t have to invest extra efforts in order to learn using your app optimally.

The next step you need to take is to determine the application activity requirements. You need to implement five activity classes. Each activity class performs a task in the application. Each activity class has its own corresponding layout file stored or saved in the app resources. You can also use a single layout file for two different activities. However, it is not mandatory to do so. If you have done so then you can simply create a single layout for both and adjust the image in the background and the text in the TextView control at runtime, instead of within the layout file.

In this way any application can be created. Apps development process seems to be very complex. However, if you understand the process and segregate the tasks then you will be able to empower your apps to deliver superior performance. One must always be on the path of continuous growth, and learning. Doing this will ensure more quality applications and enhanced user experience. If you are amateur to apps development process then you may seek guidance from any of your friends and relatives who are already experienced in creating applications.
