Introduction:

Android application development is a new trend and emerging as a market leader in mobile platforms. Android has a greater user base with around 85% of global market shares. The rapid increase in the use of smartphones has raised the demand for flexible Android-based application development. We make dynamic Android Apps that work in high-tech mobile gadgets. Speedier and upgraded portable applications are the attributes of our Android App Development service.

Why Java for Android application development?

There are a number of ways to create apps for Android devices, but the recommended method for most developers is to write native apps using Java and the Android SDK. Java for Android apps is both similar and quite different from other types of Java applications. Java plays an important role in the development of Android application development because there are multiple reasons such as; Java is a commonly used language and many programmers know it, it can run on a virtual machine (VM) so no need to recompile for different phones, better security, many development tools available for Java, and Java is a known industry language with most phones compatible with it. It has been around for more than two decades and it is still one of the most popular and widely used programming languages worldwide. Java’s popularity and phenomenal growth as the preferred multi-platform programming language became possible thanks to its core features which include:

    1. Java has been developed as a platform-independent language that can be distributed with virtual missions.

    2. Java is an object-oriented language with unmatched flexibility.

    3. Java is versatile for integrating different functions and applications.

    4. Java guarantees the highest security in various programming and running environments.

    4. Java comes packed with a large number of built-in tools and IDEs to secure different applications.

The language has fluent English-like syntax and less mysterious characters. Java has a rich API, XML parsing, database connection, networking, utilities and provides almost everything that a developer can expect. It is also open-source and available free.

Interaction of JAVA and Android Phones

Android has succeeded in keeping JAVA at the forefront in the last couple of years. JAVA gives the best option for the development of mobile applications that are based on Android, as Android consists of its own APIs and JAVA libraries. So, for Android applications, you use android APIs as well as JAVA to write code for Android apps.

These apps are called as native apps, as it is developed by using native tools and libraries. You can also code in other languages as well but you need a framework to convert into a native app for that API. To execute the programming files, Android does not use JVM (JAVA Virtual Machine) but instead uses DVM (Dalvik Virtual Machine), which is not a true JVM. So, to execute the files it has to convert into DEX format and then bundled into Android Package (APK).

For mobile applications, JAVA has specially designed J2ME (JAVA to micro edition). All J2ME applications must have a main class that is derived from a special class called MIDlet. The standard JAVA runtime environment for these devices is provided using (MIDP) Mobile Information Device Profile and Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC). To write J2ME applications, you need the JAVA platform micro edition SDK (software development kit) and IDE, which can be Android Studio. But to develop Android application, JAVA MIDlet has to convert into Android apps and for that, tools like J2Android are used. This tool can convert any JAVA MIDlet into Android apps.
