Bangalore: Mobile app development is not just about developing an app, but it also include designing the app. Developers must have a plan from the conceptual stage till the delivery and also should be responsible for providing support to the customer. Most apps are integrated with the web.

Android platform is a force to be reckoned with. Many mobile app developers prefer Android app development for several reasons. The platform is open source, the Linux kernel base is a high performing, simple OS, and development is quite convenient. Android development is less time-consuming and a relatively cheaper platform in comparison to iOS.

Android-based devices now make up at least half of smartphone sales in the U.S., U.K., Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Australia, according to new data from market research firm Kantar Worldpanel ComTech.

Socialbarrel states that following are the main reasons why Android app development has become such a popular choice for developers, overtaking the mobile app development market.

Strong Reputation of Google

Android has captivated the mobile world due to the powerful backing it receives from Google. Although the platform itself offers several advantages, the support of Google only increases its brand value.

Java Base

Java is a very diverse coding language that supports high-end development of applications on Android. Developers consider Android app development to be an exciting option because its Java capability enables the creation of a wide range of apps.

Technical superiority

The Android operating system comes from the Linux version 2.6 kernel which is architecturally very strong. This additionally also opens up many  possibilities for android app development. Yet the best quality is that it is technically sound and secure.

App development is not limited to certified developers anymore. Furthermore, the number of mobile users opting for Android apps is steadily increasing as Android devices have started ruling the market. Are you convinced about why Android is absolutely awesome? It’s not too late to join the Android platform fanclub.
