Android app development
Developing for Android means developing for the majority. We build fast, reliable apps for phones, tablets and professional devices.
Android apps to reach more people
Android is the most widely used mobile operating system – and not just on phones. It also runs on tablets, smartwatches, TVs, cars and professional devices such as barcode scanners and warehouse handhelds. Android app development keeps you in your audience's pocket and opens up plenty of ways to digitise your team's work.
At OnClick we start every project by listening to your idea and defining the app's purpose and features. From there we plan the strategy, design and technology that fit best, and build an app that runs smoothly across the huge variety of Android devices on the market.
Android languages and development environment
There are several ways to build for Android. We choose the one that gives your project the best result.
Kotlin
Google's recommended language for Android: modern, concise and safe. It's the foundation of our native apps.
Java
Android's classic language, still common in existing apps that we maintain and evolve.
Android Studio
The official environment where we code, debug and test apps on emulators and real devices.
Hybrid development
When it makes sense to reach Android and iOS at the same time, we use cross-platform technology with a single codebase.
Android apps for customers and for teams
An Android app can be a sales and loyalty channel for your customers, or a working tool for staff out on the road, in the warehouse or on the factory floor.
Drawing on our experience in custom software and our own ERP, Stratya®, we connect the app to your business systems so data arrives instantly.
- Ordering, booking and loyalty apps
- Sales apps for taking orders on the road
- Job sheets, signatures and photos for field technicians
- Barcode and QR code scanning
- Push notifications and geolocation
- Offline mode
