Why Android App Projects Struggle
Most app problems start before the first line of code. These are the ones we help teams avoid.
Unclear scope
Too many features for a first release, or the wrong ones.
Device fragmentation
Layouts and features break on some phones, tablets or Android versions.
Google Play policy issues
Releases stall on policy, permissions or data-safety requirements.
Disconnected from the business
The app can’t read orders, stock or customer data.
Slow or unstable apps
Crashes and lag lead to poor reviews.
No plan after launch
New Android versions and API levels break older apps.

Choosing the Right Approach for Your App
We recommend the approach that fits your users, budget and roadmap.
Native Android
- Kotlin and Jetpack Compose
- Full access to Android features
- Smooth, platform-native feel
- Ideal for Android-heavy audiences
Native Android + iOS
- Separate native apps
- Best experience on each platform
- See iOS development
- Higher build effort
Kotlin Multiplatform / Hybrid
- Shared business logic or one codebase
- Faster to reach both stores
- See Kotlin Multiplatform
- Some platform trade-offs

Android App Development FAQs
What businesses ask before building an Android app.
Which technologies do you use for Android apps?
We build native Android apps mainly in Kotlin with Jetpack Compose, and work with Java for existing codebases, using Android Studio and the Android SDK.
Do you build apps for tablets and rugged devices?
Yes. We design layouts for phones and tablets and can build apps for warehouse or field devices, including barcode scanning where the hardware supports it.
How do you handle different Android devices and versions?
We agree the supported Android versions with you and test on a range of screen sizes, OS versions and device makers before release.
Do you handle Google Play release?
Yes. We prepare the release build, testing tracks, store listing and data-safety details, and work with you through Google Play review. Apps are published under your Google Play developer account.
Can an Android app integrate with Odoo?
Yes. We build Android apps that connect to Odoo through its API to read and update data such as customers, orders, products and stock.
Can the app work with our existing back end or APIs?
Yes. We integrate with existing REST APIs or build a new back end and admin panel if needed.
Can you build internal apps that aren’t public on Google Play?
Yes. Staff apps can be distributed privately, for example through managed Google Play; we advise on the right route.
Should we build native Android or a cross-platform app?
Native Android suits apps that need top performance, deep device access or an Android-first audience. Kotlin Multiplatform or hybrid apps can reach Android and iOS faster from shared code. We recommend after discovery.
Can you take over or update an existing Android app?
Yes. We review the existing Kotlin or Java code first, then fix, update or rebuild it depending on its condition.
How do you keep the app secure?
We use secure authentication, encrypted connections, careful data storage and permission handling, and security testing, following Google Play’s data-safety requirements.
Do you provide maintenance after launch?
Yes. We offer updates for new Android versions and Google Play requirements, bug fixes, performance improvements and new features.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes. We keep project information confidential and can sign an NDA before discussing your app in detail.
How is the app’s source code licensed?
The code we develop is licensed to you for use in your business. Licence terms are set out in the contract before development starts.
How long does Android app development take?
It depends on features, design, integrations, device coverage and testing rounds. You receive a timeline after the discovery phase.
How much does Android app development cost?
It depends on features, design, devices, back end, integrations, security and support. Request an app estimate.
