Here's when native Android is the right choice. ### Choose native when Your app needs deep platform integration — Bluetooth LE, camera with custom processing, complex animations, background services, or hardware communication. Also when you're targeting Android specifically and want the best possible performance and user experience. ### Choose cross-platform when You need both [iOS development](/ios-development/) and Android, the app is primarily UI-driven (forms, lists, navigation), and budget is a constraint. **We'll recommend honestly based on your specific requirements.** > The best Android apps feel like they belong on the platform. Material Design 3, proper back navigation, predictive back gestures, and dynamic color from wallpapers — these details matter. ### Our Android principles - **Kotlin only** — No new Java code. Kotlin is better in every way that matters - **Compose first** — Declarative UI for all new development - **Offline capable** — Apps should work without internet when possible - **Test on real devices** — We test across a range of devices and Android versions ### Fleet Management — 3,000+ Vehicles A logistics company tracking 3,000+ delivery vehicles in real-time.

Google has made Kotlin the recommended language for Android development. It's more concise, safer (null safety), and has full interoperability with Java. We haven't started a new Java Android project since 2019.We typically target Android 8.0 (API 26) and above, which covers 95%+ of active devices. For enterprise apps, we can target specific versions based on your fleet. We test on a range of devices from budget to flagship.Flutter if you need both iOS and Android with a limited budget. Native Android if you need deep platform integration, the best possible performance, or are building an Android-only app. We help you make this decision based on your specific requirements.A simple app (5-10 screens, basic features): 6-10 weeks. A medium app (15-25 screens, offline mode, integrations): 12-20 weeks. Complex enterprise apps: 4-8 months. We provide detailed timelines after reviewing your requirements.Yes. Store listing optimization, screenshot design, app signing, staged rollouts, and responding to Google's review feedback. We also set up internal testing tracks for beta distribution.We build responsive layouts that adapt to tablets, foldables, and Chromebooks. Jetpack Compose's adaptive layout APIs make this significantly easier than the XML approach. Window size classes handle the different form factors cleanly. ## Need an Android App Built?
