Few Less Known Things about Android Application Development

Good thing about Android is that Android application development can be done by anyone without any relevant training or experience. You just need to know some Java to start working on the platform. However you should also be always ready to take the steep learning curve to do it correctly, to get desired results. Example for the UI, you might have set some high expectations, since you have not worked as an Android app developer, this is going to be a daunting task but if you are ready to learn how to develop it effectively then you would be able to do it with relative ease. Similarly there are many more things to learn about Android app development, here are just a few of them:

• Check how much memory is consumed by your application to avoid out of memory issues.
  
  
• Landscape view might not be all you need, sometimes it is possible the portrait would be the only thing needed for your app, consider this carefully to avoid all the hassles of landscaping.
  
  
• See if you can reuse the inbuilt widgets, reusing the widgets can save you lot of time
  
  
• Before the application goes live it is important to test it thoroughly, there is no reason why you should not do it. First find some people to test the beta version of the application. You would argue that your testing process is exhaustive and can test all the aspects of the application however people new to your application will use it in many different ways then you used and might even point out some critical errors.
  
  
• Once the application is all ready, its time to market it, let the people know about its existence. Android Market is the best place to popularize an application. Apart from this you can also search for various other places where you can list the application.
  
  
• Use Android forums and blogs to your benefit, link to your application here, many would be happy to be the first few to test your application and review it.
