Native App Development Services
The decision of the correct type of app for a project sometimes proves a difficult
Android is one of the most popular operating systems in the world, empowering millions of devices of all types. That’s why many businesses work hard to develop Android apps: to reach and engage a huge mobile audience. But successfully doing so isn’t easy. You need a solid mobile strategy, a deep understanding of the audience, and a highly qualified team to build the best Android app possible.
Fortunately, BairesDev can help you with all of that. We are a custom Android app development services company with years of experience working with Google’s OS. Our company was born in the same year Android first appeared on the market, so we grew alongside it. Even then, we saw the operating system’s potential, which is why we built a team of mobile developers who developed their Android skills to better serve our customers.
Today, we are a mature Android development company with a tried-and-true process, years of combined experience, and in-depth expertise in the OS. We have worked on multiple Android projects across different industries, and we have the know-how to boost your projects, too.

Our Android app development method is a comprehensive process that encompasses all phases of the project, from design and ideation to maintenance and support. It doesn’t matter what kind of Android app you’re trying to develop, our methodology will provide you with the results you expect in a timely manner.
Here’s what our Android development process looks like.
We meet with you to discuss all the details of your project. In this initial stage, we assess your needs and requirements while our Solution Architects help you devise the roadmap that will guide you through the development process.
Using Staffing Hero™, our proprietary AI-driven team-building solution, we go through our talent pool to find the most suitable candidates for the team that will work on your project. We move quickly through this stage and usually have it done in a matter of days.
After you agree on the roadmap and the team, we begin working on your project following the predefined plan. We use agile methodologies to build your Android app, providing you with incremental iterations so you can check the progress and give us relevant and timely feedback.
When we get to a stable, high-performing, and easy-to-use application that has all the features discussed in the first stage, we do everything to launch it. This means conducting multiple final tests to ensure the quality and functionality and sending it to the Google Play Store after checking the app’s compliance with the store’s requirements.
Once the app is live, we offer you a continued partnership with us. Here, we provide you with app maintenance to ensure your app is always up to date and operational. We can also discuss a plan for future updates and upgrades and restart the process to get them done.
Our Android mobile app design and development services cover everything you need for your Android projects. We can work with you to turn your ideas into a reality, regardless of your industry or company size.
Here are some of the things we can do for you:
Android is one of the biggest operating systems in the world today, so getting your company to engage with its users is key. Naturally, an Android app might be the best way to do so. Yet, given the countless organizations vying for the same audience, the whole task can prove very challenging. How can you stand out from the crowd? With custom Android app development.
Building a custom Android app will allow you to completely tailor your application to the needs of your audience. Thus, you can develop an app from the ground up that has all the features, look and feel, and user experience you want. Creating a custom Android app is your best bet to be noticed by your audience as well as the best way to provide them with the features they really need to better engage with you.
Android is a features-packed operating system that offers plenty of functionalities and capabilities.
That’s why, to truly take advantage of Android app development, you need to know some Android essentials, including its most notable features and the main differences from the other major OS of the mobile world: iOS.
For those looking to jump on board the Android development train, here are the basic notions and features they should know before getting started:
It’s important that your developers have a complete grasp of all the elements that come together and make up Android to fully leverage them.
Android and iOS are the 2 biggest mobile operating systems in the world. They have some similarities but plenty of differences. That’s the reason why users, businesses, and developers have to know what makes them so different from one another: to learn which one is the best for them.
While the differences are too many to mention, here are some key aspects in which Android and iOS are different.
Android is an open system, which means that you can install any app that you want (even if the installer isn’t in the Google Play Store). For its part, iOS is a closed system, which implies that you can only use apps and features approved by Apple and available in their official store.
Given that iOS is a closed system and Apple has tighter control over which applications you can install on the system, the number of threats is considerably lower than those targeting Android.
Being an open system also means that Android is highly customizable, allowing users to tweak pretty much anything they want from the OS. That isn’t the case with iOS, which limits users to the appearance and functionality the company has developed for the system.
iOS enjoys a healthy and frequent dose of updates with new features and security patches. But Android is different. Given that there are many different Android versions coming from different manufacturers, they don’t receive the same number of updates, which can leave certain Android versions outdated.
iOS is only available for the iPhone and other Apple mobile devices. Android can run on a lot more devices, including those from Google, Samsung, Huawei, Motorola, Xiaomi, and plenty more.
Android is the most widely used mobile platform in the world with a fairly consistent global market share of around 70% over the last few years. Not only does that mean there are massive amounts of Android-based mobile devices on the planet, it means the market for Android apps is huge.
This implies that you should already have an Android app from your business available in the Google Play Store. If not, you’re way behind the curve. And given how competitive the market is these days, being behind the curve could be disastrous.
To that end, you want to make sure your development team is already up for the task of developing apps for Android. This means you need to:
If you’re not taking care of each of those items above, know that your Android app is going to struggle. But if you carefully plan out an app that not only serves a specific purpose, but also offers your customers a better interactive experience with your brand—and is developed by the best software engineers you can find—you’ll be ahead of the game.
Of course, that type of plan is specific to an app that interfaces with your current company website or makes it possible for customers/clients to more easily purchase goods and/or services. You might be releasing a game or an app in a different entertainment space. Should that be the case, hiring the absolute best developers is a must.
Android is developed primarily in Java and its APIs are designed to be called from Java, as well, so it’s hardly a surprise that most Android apps are written in Java. However, it’s possible to develop apps in C++, using the Android Native Development Kit (NDK).
What does that mean for your company? You'll be focusing your Android developer hiring on the Java language.
But there's a catch. Android is based on the Linux kernel, which is primarily written in C. Given that Android apps have to interact with the kernel and the hardware, and nearly all of the kernel drivers are written in C and C++, if you're developing for the Android OS itself, you might need to know C and/or C++. But for Android apps alone, Java will do just fine.
To develop for Android, you must focus your search on developers with more than just Java skills. It's important to note that Android isn’t just limited to Java. You can develop apps with the following other languages:
Of course, developing with Android isn't just about the programming language. There are other tools of the trade, such as:
It should come as no surprise that finding quality Android developers shouldn't be all that challenging. Simply because Android is so popular, you'll find a massive talent pool from which to choose. You should be able to reach out to any hiring firm, which can then put together a star-studded team for your Android project needs. And because Java is also still an incredibly popular language, the possibilities should be seemingly endless for you.
It's important to understand that, when hiring an Android developer, you can't just find the best Java developer on the market. You also need a team with strong UI design skills. Remember, you want to release an app that is the absolute best, which means it needs to be user-friendly with a modern UI.
So you need to be on the lookout for a developer who understands:
You might not find a single developer who has mastered all of those skills and tools, but you can at least ensure that list is covered by a team of Android developers.
Your company shouldn't have any trouble finding Android developers. But don't just settle for the first developers you find. The competition is fierce, and you need to employ the best Android development team you can get. Empowered with his knowledge, you shouldn't have any problem finding the perfect match.
The Android application architecture is comprised of the following:
An activity is anything that performs an action on the screen.
The Android Packaging Key (APK) is a compressed package made up of classes, UIs, supportive assets, and manifests.
The manifest is a file that presents essential information about an app to the Android operating system. This information is required before Android runs the app's code.
A service is any activity that runs in the background without UI interaction.
We are looking for a developer responsible for creating exciting Android applications, as well as integrating the necessary backend elements to allow the app to communicate with our current website.
Our Android developers will be responsible for analyzing both user and company requirements to successfully build and deploy a meaningful, useful, and profitable (if applicable) application.
