How We Deliver

Our Android App Development Process

Six stages from architecture and Material Design 3 prototyping through biweekly APK builds, backend integration, performance profiling, and managed Play Store launch - with a working app on your physical Android device from sprint one.

01
Discovery, Architecture & Android Stack Decision

We start with a structured discovery of your app concept, target Android devices (phones, tablets, foldables, TV, Wear OS), performance requirements, backend and API design, and Play Store strategy. We define the architecture (MVVM or MVI, Clean Architecture layering), DI approach (Hilt), navigation graph, and the full Jetpack component set before sprint planning begins.

02
UI/UX Design - Material Design 3 & Compose Prototyping

Our designers produce high-fidelity Figma prototypes following Material Design 3 guidelines with adaptive layouts for phone and tablet. We define the Compose component library - theming tokens (color scheme, typography, shapes), reusable Composable functions, and animation specs - before development so sprint velocity is maximised from day one.

03
Agile Sprint Development - Biweekly APK Builds

Android development runs in two-week sprints. Every sprint you receive a working APK/AAB via Firebase App Distribution covering the sprint scope - install it on any Android device and test the real app. No waiting until the end to see the product. Sprint reviews include a live demo with screen recording for async stakeholder review.

04
Backend & API Integration

Backend integrations are built in parallel with Android development - Retrofit REST or Apollo GraphQL clients, Firebase Auth and Firestore/FCM configuration, payment gateway SDK integration (Stripe, Razorpay, Google Pay), Google Maps and Places integration, third-party SDK setup, and WebSocket or Server-Sent Events for real-time features.

05
QA, Performance Profiling & Play Store Compliance

Comprehensive QA across physical Android devices covering a range of manufacturers (Samsung, Pixel, OnePlus) and API levels (Android 10–15). Android Studio Profiler for CPU, memory, and network analysis. Compose recomposition profiler to eliminate unnecessary rebuilds. Play Store pre-launch report review, data safety form completion, and content rating submission.

06
Play Store Launch, Monitoring & Ongoing Roadmap

Managed Google Play Console submission - production release, staged rollout (10% → 50% → 100%), release notes, and store listing optimisation. Post-launch monitoring via Firebase Crashlytics, Play Console vitals (ANR rate, crash rate), and Firebase Analytics. A defined sprint cadence for ongoing feature delivery, yearly target SDK updates, and Play Store policy compliance maintenance.

Client Results

What Our Android App Clients Say

Trusted by startup founders, enterprise mobility teams, and product leaders across the US, UK, and Australia who needed an Android partner that ships production-quality Kotlin apps on time.

★★★★★

We had an old Java Android app that was crashing constantly and failing Play Store target SDK requirements. 1Solutions migrated it to Kotlin with Jetpack Compose, fixed the architecture, and got our crash rate from 4.8% down to 0.3%. The app feels completely new - our users noticed immediately and our Play Store rating went from 3.4 to 4.6.

FAQ

Android App Development - Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about building a native Android application with 1Solutions - from Kotlin vs Java to timelines, enterprise MDM, large screens, and Play Store compliance.

Native Android (Kotlin/Compose) gives you the best performance, deepest device hardware access, most idiomatic Android UX, and no framework abstraction layer. This matters most for apps with complex UI animation, intensive background processing, Bluetooth/BLE/NFC, camera or media pipelines, enterprise MDM requirements, or Android TV/Wear OS targets. Flutter is a strong choice when you need simultaneous iOS launch and your app is primarily data-display and form-based. For Android-first products or apps requiring deep hardware integration, native Kotlin is the right choice.
A native Android MVP covering authentication, 3–6 core screens, API integration, and Play Store submission typically takes 10–16 weeks. A mid-complexity app with Compose UI, real-time features, payments, and background services typically takes 18–26 weeks. A full enterprise Android app with offline capability, complex data sync, MDM integration, multiple user roles, and admin dashboard typically takes 28–40 weeks. We deliver working APK builds via Firebase App Distribution on a biweekly sprint cycle throughout development.
All new Android development we do is in Kotlin with Jetpack Compose - the current Google-recommended approach. We also maintain and extend existing Java codebases, and handle Java-to-Kotlin migration projects including introducing Compose UI incrementally alongside existing XML Views using ComposeView interop. For legacy Java codebases, we produce a phased migration plan that modernises the codebase without a full rewrite, protecting your existing investment while delivering a Kotlin-first architecture for long-term maintainability.
Yes. Android modernisation is a speciality. Our phased approach first migrates the data and domain layers to Kotlin with Coroutines and Flow, then migrates the UI from XML Views to Jetpack Compose screen by screen using the ComposeView bridge - allowing Compose and Views to coexist during the transition. This avoids a big-bang rewrite and allows continuous feature delivery. Outcomes include improved performance, reduced boilerplate, a modern testable architecture, and compliance with the latest Play Store target SDK requirements.
Yes. Android large-screen support is a first-class capability. We implement adaptive layouts using WindowSizeClass, multi-pane list-detail navigation, drag-and-drop, stylus input handling, and hinge-aware layouts for foldable devices. We test on tablet emulators and physical large-screen devices and ensure compliance with Play Store large-screen quality guidelines - earning the large-screen badge where applicable. Many clients specifically need Android tablet apps for field operations, healthcare, warehouse, and logistics workflows.
Yes. Enterprise Android is a core speciality. We build apps supporting managed configurations for EMM/MDM deployment (Intune, Workspace ONE, SOTI), Android Work Profile, device policy controller integration, SAML and OAuth 2.0 SSO (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace), certificate-based authentication, VPN-bound networking, and silent enterprise distribution via managed Google Play. We have built enterprise Android apps deployed across fleets of 1,000 to 50,000+ managed devices.
Google requires Android apps to target the latest or near-latest API level annually (currently API 35 for new apps). We handle all mandatory target SDK updates as part of our maintenance plans - reviewing deprecated API usage, updating permissions declarations, completing data safety form updates, reviewing Play Store policy changes that affect your app category, and managing the release of compliant updates before Google deadlines. This is included in our ongoing support retainer for all Android apps we build.
Yes. We develop for the full Android platform spectrum: Android TV (Leanback library, D-pad navigation, content recommendations, Android TV channels), Wear OS (health and fitness apps, watch face complications, Tiles for glanceable content, Wear Compose UI), and Android Auto (media and messaging apps via the Android for Cars App Library). We also build for Android tablets and foldables. If your product needs to span multiple Google surfaces, we build all of them from a shared Kotlin codebase with platform-specific UI layers.
