Android development refers to the development of applications for Android-based operating systems on mobile devices. Although generally, mobile application development trends and tendencies may not last for a longer period, there are still certain periods of boom that give rise to a certain type of app development for a particular time.
For example, pre-covid and post-covid application development trends have a drastic difference between them. Buying behaviors, customer psychology, consumer outlook, and even user experience around certain things have changed, so does the Android application deployment tendencies. This post will run you through all the possible and potential mobile application leanings that developers and development houses will follow.
● Blockchain technology apps:
We have been hearing the name of blockchain technology for a while now but not everyone is familiar with its advantages and uses. Blockchain technology can be used in payment processing, creating and maintaining public ledger, logistics and supply chain tracking, data storage, and more. So far, blockchain and encrypted technology are considered for social media, health- and cybersecurity-related applications.
● E-commerce applications:
We all are familiar with eCommerce applications. They usually directly connect the seller with the consumer to supply goods. As stated above consumer buying patterns and shopping trends have changed drastically as post covid researchers claim. People now tend to buy things on mobile-based applications. Electronic commerce and mobile commerce are thriving at a rapid pace. So, in 2022 grocery, health-related, and remote service-providing applications will be seen more active.
● Chatbots:
A chatbot is a program that is designed to communicate with humans and to answer their questions. Chatbots are often used for websites customer support to provide automated answers. For customer relationship management (CRM) and remote desk help, robotic messengers will be launched to provide instant answers to customer queries. These software and robotic functions will be installed as Android applications to cater to customer services 24/7. Aren’t you familiar with automatic emails giving you password codes?
● VR applications:
These apps create virtual reality and bring users to a virtual world. Gaming applications are in the race of producing more and more virtual reality and augmented reality-based games. VR-based education for remote learners, VR-based tourism applications for remote visitors, and VR-based product experiments will be a new market entry in 2022.
● Payment through mobile/Digital wallets:
No one carries cash anymore, and hence digital wallets are receiving the popularity they deserve. They allow a user to store money and to make transactions from anywhere. Cryptocurrency, Forex, and stock market-based applications have been a trend for the past 5 years but now electronic and digital wallet-based applications will prevail in the market.
● On-demand apps:
On-demand apps provide different services depending on the one the user requires. For example, booking an app on the go or purchasing medicine from a pharmacy. Whatever customers need becomes an opportunity for new business. Post-covid era is full of on-demand purchases where people can do shopping (grocery, clothing, and even merchandising) in a single place.
● IoT Beacon technology:
Beacons are small transmitters that are wireless and use low-energy Bluetooth technology to send signals. The signals could be sent to smart devices. Meanwhile, an IoT beacon technology uses a beacon to send signals that could be read by smartphones near it. Such a technology sends personalized content to the customer. It is assumed that IoT will become the next big thing by 2025.
● Internet of things:
Internet of Things is a network of connected devices and the technology that facilitates communication between devices and the cloud. It allows us to exchange data and communicate in real-time. This technology is already in use in smart homes around the world. These homes and almost the entire ecosystem are operated by Android-based programs that run on these devices and make them work according to demand. Some examples of the Internet of things devices are:
● Smart light switches.
● Amazon voice controller.
● Smart home voice controller.
● Doorbell camera.
● Smart door locks
● Centralized smart temperature sensors
● Android apps with the instant launch:
Have you ever thought about downloading an app but felt reluctant? Well, in that case, Android apps with the instant launch would be suitable for you. These apps have a try now button alongside the install option. In this way, you would be able to experience what the app is all about without installing it.
● UX apps for Foldable Devices:
With the help of foldable devices, we can provide an enhanced visual experience. But such devices have a screen that can be stretched and folded back again. And so one needs to design an app that could fit into any screen size. To design such an app, we need to use some more programming tools and also have to change our code. After modifying our app, all we need to do is to test, monitor, and launch our app.
Last words:
Android development refers to the process where we develop applications to run on Android operating systems. To create an Android app, one needs to master a programming language. Now in these innovative times, we need an app for everything. And hence we can say that we are witnessing a surge in the application development market. Companies around the world are creating apps that bring ease to our life. The more engaging your app is, the more audience you can reach.
Amazon was created when it was needed, and there was no competitor in the market. In this way, they kept modifying it according to the demand. So we not only have to develop an app but also have to keep it updated. But the trends for Android app development are constantly updating. So let us tell you about the top ten Android development trends of 2022.
