Best Android App Development Tools

Android application development is the process of creating software for the Android operating system. It’s often shortened to Android development. Android development is a complicated process with many ways of doing the same thing.

The main methods of Android development are using the Java-based Android SDK (or the C/C++-based NDK), using HTML5 and JavaScript web technologies, or using automation tools that ease the whole process and support graphic user interface – meaning you don’t need to know a lot about coding.

Using such third-party tools is recommended for beginners or non-programmers. The most popular tools and Android development techniques are presented in this article.

1. App Inventor

App Inventor is developed by Google. It has a web-based graphic user interface that eases the process for Android developers. App The inventor uses blocks-based Java (OpenBlocks), which can be called Java without programming.

By using Google’s App Inventor you’re building native apps in Java but without any actual Java coding.

2. Alpha Anywhere

Alpha Anywhere can be used to create apps that look native and user-friendly. Alpha Anywhere is also known to create stable apps with solid performance. Use it if you want to build an app that needs to utilize giant amounts of local data and work offline.

Without offline requirements, this development framework still delivers high-performance apps that are native-looking.

3. Xamarin

Xamarin is known to generate native-looking apps for multiple platforms. Supported by a good deal of existing code and templates – the Xamarin IDE offers API access to many Android apps and services.

The client list of Xamarin is long and it also claims that “Anything you can do in Objective-C, Swift, or Java you can do in C# with Xamarin.”

4. AppGyver

App Gyver is one of the more flexible app development tools that features an array of creation systems like several templates, code-based development, drag and drop features using native UI elements like transitions and bars, and an easy interface to create your apps.

It’s very easy to develop apps that look native and deliver high interaction with AppGyver.

5. AppMakr
