Android App Development India: Doing it Right - Hyperlink InfoSystem A few years ago, the career of choice for the majority of people would be a doctor, engineer or a teacher but come to present day, a lot of people are finding a career involving computers not only enjoyable but pretty lucrative as well. These people can choose to work in a wide variety of fields that can range over actually getting to program computers themselves or work with hardware or create software solutions that leverage this hardware and solve consumers problems. The latter seems to be the most sought after option since it doesn't involve in-depth knowledge of how the computer actually works.
Since, smartphones are all the rage now, applications for which can get the developer a lot of money, we're getting to see many Android app development India enthusiasts. Solid reminders of which are the large amounts of resources available online to help everyone from beginners to veterans in the field of Android smartphone app development. These resources can range over tutorial videos, textual manuals and even live projects and demos to understand almost every aspect of the platform.
But the interesting part of all of this is that until now, Google's role in getting more people to join the Android developer camp was to put out a great documentation online that anyone and everyone could access. But nothing more focused than that. Which is not really surprising for a commercial institution. All this has changed now, Google has joined hands with a popular online portal where interested candidates can register themselves and enroll in an official Google offered course. Although the candidate has to pay a fee to get personal guidance, the course materials are absolutely free. In the grand scheme of things, this move isn't surprising at all, since a move like this would only promote
Google's image as a company that is supportive of its developers and enthusiasts that would want to join the camp after hearing about how Google, the owner of Android itself is showing interest in helping people learn the programming aspects.
This is especially a good thing because now candidates will be able to learn the best coding standards as well as all important things about programming an app for the Android platform from the source itself, instead of having to go through numerous tutorials only to find out that you weren't really following the universal coding standards that help better document the project thereby leading to easy management and saving of time and efforts. Android application development India professionals can also take enroll themselves in the course and get to sharpen their skills and maybe in get to learn a thing or two that strikes them as new.
This announcement comes at the heels of the release of the latest piece of tech from the Google camp, which is the Android Wear. Although the initial Wear reviews are mostly positive, what it is basically is a launchpad for a new class of devices. And of course, not without its flaws. The Google Play Store has been witnessing a gradual inflow of Wear related apps that are mostly not up to the mark. In their rush to get something up and out into the app store, developers are grossly missing the mark with their offerings.
Of course one could argue that Android Wear being a very new platform, Android app development India professionals would need more time tinkering around to come up with the best solution for it. The
point here is that the Android smartwatch shouldn't be seen as a shrunken version of the smartphone. Instead developers need to make sure that employ a slightly different approach in creating apps for them. Google itself has come out with some guidelines that can help these developers on their way, with things like not build apps that need to have precision touch on a screen that's less than 1/4th the size of a smartphone. Tone down the way notifications are presented that promote subtlety and do not end up annoying the user.
With smartwatches, developers should come up with apps that help the user in such a way that they don't have to pull out their smartphones for everything. And also make use of the nature of the smartphone, being that the user can easily have it with them in almost all situations, to full extent. The entire point of having a smartwatch is that the user wants to be able to become to some extent, free from having to constantly handle their phone. Some scenarios include having a quick score board that lets you see the live score in real time on your wrist as you move around the kitchen fixing yourself a snack or moving around the house.
Another case involves the user getting to use their smartwatch as a pass to get entry into a movie theater or to board a train. These ideas are something that are achievable and can speed up many mundane and time consuming aspects of the users' lives to offer them a great experience in letting them enjoy what they want to, the most.
The one thing that Android Wear developers need to realize is that its the software that's going to have to seamlessly work with their smartphone or connected devices to give the user more control over their life. Instead or it just becoming an annoying second/third device that needs charging and carrying around. There needs to be solid apps that make sure that using the watch is something that they want to do instead of having to do just because they've bought it and are now stuck with it. But using it should
become second nature, almost.
