Designing apps using responsive web design

Responsive web design can be the best solution of the problems facing during the apps developing. It is a kind of web design which deals with both cross browser and cross platform compatibilities. Web developers make code for desktops, handheld PCs, and Smartphone. Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is that type of device in which responsive web design is used. This device tries to combine all Android powered Smart phones and tablet PCs.

Do not ignore fragmentation

Android developers only had an option to build two layouts in a screen before so that the OS could select the most suitable of them. But still it is not a solution of the question of fragmentation. After releasing Android 3.2 developers are able to create more than two layouts. So Android developers can make an affective and successful Android apps with little efforts.

Socialization

Socialization is that thing which creates quick awareness among users. It is very important for computer coding. This is a very fast way which helps to get acceptance of users of a certain application. For example if a user shares his/her the information or success about the game application through Facebook or Twitter profile many other people can see and download that app.

Let the first impression of icon last long

The Google play has thousands of mobile apps but all the apps are not equally popular. To make an app popular a developer has to keep in mind that first impressions of icon last long. So to make successful app a developer must have to make an attractive icon for the app. If the icon of the app is becoming attractive the users will show more and more interest about that app.
