Is there a flawless way to ace the productivity of an Android App Developers?

by Joe Richard Android Application Developer

If you’re already an expert Android application developer or you work with a team of experts who are Android app developers in an Android application development company, then no one else will better understand how important productivity, creativity, and continuous brainstorming is. When you are developing an Android application, it should be designed in a manner that is compatible with a variety of devices and scenarios.


In order to make your daily tasks and development work easier and at the same time speed up the delivery time of your high-quality apps, what would you call as a best practice/s for improving an Android app developer productivity?


To keep your users on their toes and to maintain the product’s image isn’t not enough to just be efficient and productive, but also ensure that the toolsets used and the setup of the environmental outline is as efficient and productive.


There are many other aspects to improving the productivity of an Android app developer, than just his/her expertise in the field. Let us discuss some of the best practices in brief:


Build with Perfection


Designing an Android app, as against an iOS application, is that Android allows one to choose a design that they can work with while not forcing too many restrictions. But this can be both good and bad. One of the most important considerations an Android application developer needs to make is to design an application that can bear the impact in the long-run. This is essential because an Android application is not just created once and launched for the users to start using, it has to go through a series of addition and rejection of features, updates etc. Hence, it is very important to keep in mind, to design your app in a way that it can sustain the havoc of the long-run procedures and only then step into the developing stage.


Detect and Fix


Android app developers need to be careful of memory leaks that can easily occur in Android applications which happens because Android provides very less memory space. While it is one of the biggest hindrances to an Android app developer, avoiding such an issue is quite simple. Once again, this needs to be taken care of at the initial stage of building the Android app. A common error Android app developers usually make is holding the reference of User Interface (UI) specific object in the task running in the background. This is one of the primary explanations of a memory leak. Another reason for leaks is static views. Using this is also a cause of memory leaks, as they do not get killed. Lastly, a point of value to be noted is to unregister listeners. Failing to do this keeps activities ‘on’.


Layouts


It is not lucrative to create an app that has a UI element, which can be used only in a single place in the application. Especially when the app is launched with a vision of its long-term use, it is insensible to have a single and distinct layout that will be used repeatedly across various fragments. Therefore, an Android app developer can be more productive by creating separate layouts with the help of tags similar to <include/>.


Test Before You Launch the App


It is always very best to test the functionality of your app before you launch it. This test, called a functional UI test, involves testing the app from the users’ point of view. This way, any problems pertaining to the application’s compatibility with other applications in popular devices can be resolved. Hence, it is very important to write code which will result in the best performance of the app.


Ensure a Safe and Secure Access


It is in the hands of the Android app developers to keep the application safe for the users to use it with a feeling of security. Thus, Android app developers should ensure that they incorporate such features into the app that create a safety wall for the users from unauthorized individuals who seek to gain access to one’s personal/confidential information. This is where practices like file encryption comes into play.
