Android App Development

As Google's mobile operating system, Android dominates the global smartphone market with over 2.8 billion active users, the largest user database, and a 75% global market share. The best part is that the Android system has the highest loyalty and sales rate.

Android OS allows you to communicate between applications, and run one from the other. The advantage is that you can use Windows, Mac OS, or Linux to develop Android applications. They represent a great platform for both users and developers, primarily thanks to the development environment, software tools, and the constant support that comes from Google.

What are the 4 main components of Android?

Activities

Activities are the starting point for interaction with the user and they allow performing actions on the smartphone screen. Launching a new activity pushes the old into the background and stops until the new one is done, by finishing the new one the previous activity resumes. Each Android app has more than one activity and although all work together to provide a complete user experience, each one is independent of the other.

Services

These are long-lasting background processes which do not break even when the initiating component is interrupted or transferred to another application. The services do not provide a user interface and they represent the main point for maintaining applications running in the background.

Content providers

Content providers bring object-oriented functionality, and their task is to deliver data from one application to others on demand. They are used to manage access through a set of data that are in the file system or somewhere else. They are needed because, in Android, each app has a unique ID, but a different storage path that involves running different processes - content providers are there to provide data.

Broadcast receivers

They provide communication between Android OS and applications, allowing the app to respond to system-wide broadcast announcements. They respond to emitted intents from other applications or systems. A broadcast intent is a background operation that users never see, but activities allow transactions to be seen.

Doctor care anywhere

Case study: Jaaq

JAAQ is a free-to-use platform for everyone who wants to find out more about mental health and wellbeing from leading experts, celebrities, and people with lived experience. The goal was to develop an application suite that will enable JAAQ personnel and professionals to create various types of content and offer that content to end-users/platform visitors to consume.

Case Study: Braintoss

Case Study: Companion App

Our client needed mobile applications for Android and iOS mobile platforms that will help users reduce stress and anxiety through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) principles. By utilising strategic thinking and offering our suggestions, we were able to build compact applications with more functionalities than originally planned. Users are now able to find the necessary instructions, exercises and advice significantly faster.

Case Study: Paperchase

Recently, a client approached Vega IT to help them increase the scope of services they provide. They wanted to create a custom and complex application that will run on all mobile devices. The client wanted to add unique features to the application so that they would create a new market for the products and services they provide.

Case Study: SeaChange

Our team has built a range of client-side applications and websites, from scratch. Also, we designed a scalable and extensible middleware as a wrapper around the legacy system. This solution was built using NodeJS and was designed in a way that allows enrichment of content and functionalities at the middleware level, without the needed for updates on the hard in order to maintain the legacy system.

Case Study: Tatatu

How we helped Tatatu build the first social media app that incentivizes users for the value they generate by spending time on the platform.

As an extension of TaTaTu’s team, we contributed to the development of the first social media and entertainment platform that cares about its users and incentivizes them. Over time, the app proved to be a great success.

Which business model suits you?

Different budgets, deadlines, challenges, and requirements. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to software development. To match your exact goals and ambitions, we offer two types of business models:

Time & material: Greater control. Flexibility. Participation in candidate selection. With no rigid processes or end dates, this business model is easier to scale up or down as your business needs change.
Fixed price: Fixed scope. Fixed budget. Fixed timeline. Those are the main benefits of the fixed price model. You set the requirements upfront, and we deliver the project within them.

Many clients choose to start with the fixed-price model. However, as their project scope evolves, they typically shift to the time & material model.
