Android
has surpassed iOS to be the most popular mobile operating in the world. There
are hundreds of millions of active Android devices and hundreds of thousands of
Android devices are activated daily throughout the world. There is more than one
reason behind the popularity of Android. First and the comprehensible factor is
the open source nature of the operating system. However, there are deeper and
more technical reasons. It is a notable factor in this context that gaming is the
strongest and fastest growing niche in Android
app development. While the Google mobile OS still lags behind iOS in some domains,
it is clearly the top favorite of mobile game developers.
The
open source nature of Android has certainly helped in its expansion and offered
the flexibility that the dormant community of potential developers needed. From
skilled and experienced Android application developers to amateurs who try their talent for the first time, the
platform accommodates all. A fact of the matter is that even free Android applications
have potential to generate greater revenue than what paid applications generate.
That hardly leaves any doubt which platform is the most suitable for beginner-level
development. That is why the disparity between iOS and Android is not as much in
higher levels of application development that it is in the start-up level.
The
user-interface of Android is developed using Java, which is an open source programming
language. The open sources make development easy and feasible for developers who
contemplate starting their earning through mobile
application development The Google platform has a great application framework
that facilitates replacement and reuse of components. Its custom 2D graphics
library and open GLES 1.0 3D graphics specifications have optimised the quality
of graphics offered by the mobile OS. Graphics is highly regarded by gamers and
that is another reason why game developers prefer Android to other mobile OS. While
high-investment games can be and are made for various mobile platforms, games for
mindless fun and entertainment are predominantly found on Android. It is because
the developers can relate to the investment that they have to make and the
potential of earning, which keeps the account rolling and enables individual
developers or companies to start larger projects.
Android
supports various audio, video and image formats such as GIF, PNG, JPG, AMR, AAC,
MP3, H.264 and MPEG4. Such extensive support is what any Android game developer appreciates. Some of the most common categories
of games that are developed on Android platform are mind games, puzzles, Hollywood-related
games, card games and different race sports. Action games are also in good concentration
at Google Play.
People
with an idea can hire Android developers to get the application or game according
to their specification. Freelance developers as well as companies provide
development services and people can hire them for personal applications as well
as commercial projects. Though there is no shortage of developers in the open
market, hirers need to verify whether they have worked on diverse projects and
can deliver the product on time.
