Top 9 Android Development Key point that every Developer Should Follow

Hi Folks, Have you ever noticed some app are widely used by user but some are not although they have almost same features and usage. Here is the list of top 9 practices for android development that every Developer should follow:

 1.Architecture 

 While Planning your app make sure you should taking care of the app architecture from developer as well as user point. In future if you want to add some more functionality then you can easily do that.

 https://github.com/googlesamples here you can find some good example of app architecture developed by google.

 2.Memory


Random-access memory (RAM) is a valuable resource in any software development environment, but it's even more valuable on a mobile operating system where physical memory is often constrained. Although both the Android Runtime (ART) and Dalvik virtual machine perform routine garbage collection, this does not mean you can ignore when and where your app allocates and releases memory. You still need to avoid introducing memory leaks, usually caused by holding onto object references in static member variables, and release any Referenceobjects at the appropriate time as defined by lifecycle callbacks.

3.Battery


Battery is one of the most critical part of any device. If your app is consuming large amount of battery then users are not going to prefer your app.

4.Smooth Like Butter



Performance Plays a important role in attracting the users attention towards your App either in term of better animation or any other things.

5.Put your APK on Diet



Diet! yay but i am not taking about food.Actually i am taking about the size of app package always try to keep the size of your APK as small as possible. Remove unused codes and assets try to use well optimized images and various other optimization techniques.

6.Always use WebP in your App



WebP is an image format employing both lossy and lossless compression. It is currently developed by Google, based on technology acquired with the purchase of On2 Technologies.The format was first announced in 30 September 2010 as a new open standard for lossily compressed true-color graphics on the web, producing smaller files of comparable image quality to the older JPEG scheme. On October 3, 2011 Google announced WebP support for animation, ICC profile, XMP metadata, and tiling (compositing very large images from maximum 16384×16384 tiles).[As a derivative of the VP8 video format, it is a sister project to the WebM multimedia container format. WebP-related software is released under a BSD license.
On 18 November 2011 Google began to experiment with lossless compression and support for transparency (alpha channel) in both lossless and lossy modes; support has been enabled by default in libwebp 0.2.0 (16 August 2012). According to Google's measurements, a conversion from PNG to WebP results in a 45% reduction in file size when starting with PNGs found on the web, and a 28% reduction compared to PNGs that are recompressed with pngcrush and PNGOUT.

 7.Mobile Data is Valuable.

As per the recent trend data is the new currency and if your app is consuming lot of currency means data then it is not good for you and your user so be alert with DATA!

8.Design


Design the beauty of every app and if you app is not beautiful although it has extraordinary features but the users will not use it. After the launch of material design every thing become simpler and smoother.

9.Responsiveness


Your App should be responsive it should adopt any screen size with any resolution without loosing the contents of the app to give a great experience to the user.User does not need to zoom.

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT

New Generation App of 21st Century Understanding PWA: Progressive Web Apps, aka PWAs, are the best way for developers to make their webapps load faster and more performance. In a nutshell, PWAs are websites that use recent web standards to allow for installation on a user’s computer or device, and deliver an app-like experience to those users. Twitter recently launched  mobile.twitter.com  as a PWA  built with React and Node.js . They've had a good experience with PWAs, showing that the technology is finally ready for the masses. A PWA is a web application that can be “installed” on your system. It works offline when you don’t have an internet connection, leveraging data cached during your last interactions with the app. If you’re on a desktop, using Chrome, and have the appropriate flags turned on, you will be prompted to install the app when you visit the site. For example, enable the following flags in Chrome by copying and pasting the following URLs into

Hi Everyone Suraj Here ! Back again with an awesome article on Progressive Web Apps. From Last Few years PWA's are in Buzz. Tech Giant  GOOGLE always talks about PWA in all its major events like I/O, Chrome Developer Summits, Solve for India , Google Developers Days and many more. Lets Talk little bit about Progressive web Apps according to google. Progressive Web Apps are experiences that combine the best of the web and the best of apps. They are useful to users from the very first visit in a browser tab, no install required. As the user progressively builds a relationship with the app over time, it becomes more and more powerful. It loads quickly, even on flaky networks, sends relevant push notifications, has an icon on the home screen, and loads as a top-level, full screen experience.
