Why to Choose Kotlin in 2023 to Build Mobile Apps Faster?

Kotlin is a programming language introduced by JetBrains, the official designer of the most intelligent Java IDE, named Intellij IDEA. This is a strongly statically typed language that runs on JVM. At Google I/O 2019, we announced that Android development will be increasingly Kotlin-first, and we’ve stood by that commitment. Kotlin is an open source programming language that combines object-oriented programming and functional features into a unique platform.

What's new in Kotlin 1.8.0

• New experimental functions for JVM: recursively copy or delete directory content
• Improved kotlin-reflect performance

Benefits of Outsourcing Development Services

Development services have seen a dramatic turn of events in the last few years. In-house development services are now getting outsourced too, to avail maximum benefits. Outsourced development services have now carved their unique niche. A report by Statista states that the year 2018 generated a global IT outsourced revenue of $62 billion.

The shortage of workforce and modern technology in the local labor market are two main reasons for its growth. While creating a new product, outsourcing companies are capable of providing a professional experience. As technology advances, there is an increasing demand for creativity and expertise. And outsourcing provides exactly that.

Varied Advantages of Outsourcing Development Services

It is extremely important to figure out when a company needs in-house software development and when they require outsourced services. In-house services require enough investment in infrastructure and resources. Plus, the company also...

Most Popular Android App Development Frameworks

Choosing the right framework for mobile app development remains an important concern for the developers. the Google Play store has recorded 2.1 million apps. Whereas, the Apple store is just behind it with 1.8 million apps. Hence, developers are constantly faced with the dilemma of which type of app they should make? Native, hybrid and cross-platform apps work on different frameworks. However, some frameworks once written, can be used for other platforms too. Therefore, It relieves developers from the problems of creating an entirely new app for another platform. Developers should look for those coding languages that can prove beneficial if they want to scale their apps in the future. Apart from creating a sustainable product and a competitive interface, developers can also focus on staying in contact with the maximum followers through different devices. And...

Why is Testing a Mobile Application Important?

  Mobile applications are evidently transforming many lives. This is highlighted through the fact that 10% of mobile users check their phones every four minutes. And, what do they check so frequently? - mobile apps. Almost 90% of the time spent on handsets is dedicated to these mobile applications. However, this also means competition is at its peak today. Hence, one key reason to make an app successful is: the apps must have something unique to offer to users so that customers use them. As of the year 2019, worldwide mobile users are expected to be around 2.5 billion; indicating the fact that the app development industry is a promising investment. However, this premise itself isn't enough to build an app. Developers need to have a proper understanding regarding what drives people to use apps and...

Android Predictions for 2019

In 2018 we saw a lot of new things, that actually revolutionized mobile technology in ways we could never even think of. It was an interesting year for the Android ecosystem. 2019 is going to be more interesting as the mobile manufacturers are not yet ready to put a stop to these innovations. Let’s take a look at what could be the possible new trends in 2019 for Android. Voice Search Voice control in mobile applications is turning into another UI that we have to think about when planning and creating applications. It gives plenty of credible outcomes that are still to be found. We would all be able to concur that conversing with your phones still feels unnatural and clients need to become acclimated to it. This innovation is somewhat similar to video calls: they are extraordinary and it's staggering that you can see your family and companions from another...

Top 3 Real Time Data Communication Options

What is Real Time Data Communication ?

Real Time Data communication is same as live event, and Real Time Data Communication streams live data in any software or mobile app. It has to give a response in a specific time frame. In real time environment data has been received, processed and returned the final result in milliseconds or in microseconds. Today, many mobile app development companies have created apps that work on Real Time concept in the Current world. Example. Live Streaming Application, Stock Market Application, Chat Applications etc.

How it works ?

Real time applications are Client -Server - Client mechanism, in this the User is connected to both ends (Client and Server). Real Time is not only both way communication but it also has to perform in time which means the result of the communication has been done...

Memory & Code Optimization Tips for Android Developers

1. Memory Optimization :

There are wide range of devices in android, and each application perform differently on each device. So basically performance is one of the problem for Android Application Developers. 1 ) Don’t Allocate Memory to Object if it is not needed - Initializing the object at expensive places can affect the application performance a lot. It will call garbage collector frequently. Ex. Avoid creating object inside loops and methods like onDraw(). 2 ) Choose Data Structure Carefully -

Ex. We have one HashMap like

It will consider ‘1’int value which is primitive type and will allocate memory to wrap int to Integer which is also know as a Boxing technique that can be expensive in terms of performance of application.

We can use Sparse*Array which will reduce...

Firebase – A Revolutionary Mobile Platform by Google

Firebase is the all in one complete solution for mobile application developers to program end to end mobile app. It works really well with features like Authentication, Real Time Database, Analytics, Storage, Notification, Dynamic Links, Crash Reporting, Invites etc. It provides realtime backend to developer application quickly. So basically, Firebase is a mobile platform to perform these many features from one place. Firebase is a quick solution for developers to create Mobile Apps (Android and IOS) and Web Apps without any kind of Backend support (web API). Let’s discuss some of the features of Firebase. 1 ) Analytics - Firebase analytics help us to know the behaviour of our user , it has number of events which are captured automatically, and we can also create custom events. 2 ) Authentication - Before firebase, developers use to manage different Authentication from different places, now It can...
