Latest Trends in Mobile Application Development

Mobile Application Development is similar to the world of fashion. Things change here extremely quickly. Another similarity of mobile development with fashion trends is that both the developers and the end users are excited about those changes. The year 2014 was a landmark year, in terms of the changes that took place in the field of mobile application development. Newer mobile devices entered the market along with other developments like smart watches, Google Glass, Internet of Things applications, etc. 2015, on the other hand, has been building on these developments and coming up with newer trends. Enterprise mobile application development has picked up considerably in the recent times. Moreover, there is an increased focus on fluidity, continuity, and responsive web development. The turn of the year has also increased the already overwhelming presence of mobile technology across the various walks of life. Here is a brief round-up of the latest trends in mobile application development:

1. Independent Wearable Apps: Development of apps for smart watches and other wearable devices has been one of the most noticeable trends of the recent times. What’s interesting is that many of these smart watches are still not independent of their mobile OS. Be it Apple watch app development or any other, this lack of independence has been an impediment. However, recently these apps are showing signs of independent control & other functional aspects. Technology is being developed to create wearable device app that works independently of its mobile OS. Google Glass, on the other hand, was never dependent on its mobile OS.

2. Multi-Player Gaming: Mobile games are popular with all ages. Moreover, developers have found a way of connecting mobile games with social networking. However, the new trend is the development of multi-player mobile games. This marks the beginning of a new trend in the field of mobile gaming. It promises to hook people onto it, and social media integration with further strengthen the concept.

3. Swift Programming: Swift is the new iOS development language. It has promptly become popular with various developers. One of the prominent reasons for the same is this development language brings together various coveted development features. Take the example of its ruby-like functional programming languages or even inferred data typing or on the fly sandboxes (also called Playgrounds). While all these features have existed in the past, Swift is the first one to bring them all together.It has been just about a few months since its launch, and it already has more 20% of the developers using. This number explains the popularity of the language.

4. Location Based Marketing: Strong apps are being developed that make use of the user’s location. By the virtue of this knowledge, various new features and deals are being offered. Let us take the example of an app that provides location based offers to the customers. When a mobile user moves to a new city, as determined by his/her mobile phone location, s/he is provided with offers from that city. This is extremely relevant for businesses in order to engage customers and increase sales.There is a complete range of other location based apps that are being developed on the way. Beacon & Geofencing have already prospered by using Location Based information. There are other apps that automatically put the phone on ‘Home’ or ‘Driving’ mode by extracting the smart phone’s location based information.

5. Parallax Scrolling Integration: Any mobile app that is developed, the most important aspect of it is to build great user experience design. If that has been done, it becomes possible to gain interest of the customers and also get them engaged with the application. Parallax Scrolling Integration is one of the ways of doing that. It significantly improves the user experience of the application, and brings better results.

6. Cross Platform Development: Developers want their apps to work across platforms. That is why cross platform development is picking up in popularity. It is believed that about 30% of the developers make use of cross platform toolkits. There are various platforms available from cross-development. These include Sencha, Appcelerator Titanium, PhoneGap, and Xamarin among others. No single platform has proved to be dominant yet.

7. M-Commerce Solution: Last year, Apple Pay was launched. Once that was done, a range of other new E-Wallets were launched alongside. Interestingly, newer ways of authentication methods were brought to the fore too. This has put immense interest in the development of m-commerce solution. Starbucks is said to have launched its own in store mobile commerce platform. This then combines with its loyalty program too. There are other examples of how m-commerce is being used strategically.

Android Marshmallow tips and tricks: 10 you need to try

1. Uninstall apps from your home screen or app drawer

In Android Marshmallow you can now uninstall an app on your home screen or in your app drawer simply by long-pressing it. At the top of the screen you’ll now see options for Remove or Uninstall on the home screen, or App Info and Uninstall in the app drawer. Simply drag the app icon to the one you want.

2. Activate Developer Options

Developer Options are nothing new, but there are a few new developer one in Android Marshmallow. To access Developer options, go to Settings > About Phone and tap Build Number seven times, until a toast pop-up notifies you that you are now a developer.

Back up a step and you’ll see Developer Options listed right above About Phone. This is where you can enable USB Debugging, OEM Unlocking or Show Touches, tweak animations, or access some of the other tips below.

3. Grant app permissions individually

Granular app permissions was the holy grail of the Android Marshmallow release. We all hoped it would pan out but no one really believed it would. We had always been told that denying specific app permissions within a third-party app could break it. Now, however, Android lets you manage app permissions individually, without developers having had to do anything, and everything seems to work swimmingly.

To access app permissions, go to Settings > Apps and tap an individual app to see its permissions. Then simply flip the switch for the permissions you do or don’t want to grant it. You can also view a list of permissions to see which have been granted to which apps. Just go to Settings > Apps, then tap the overflow menu in the top right corner and go to Advanced > App Permissions.

4. Customise Quick Settings using UI Tuner

The UI Tuner is available once you’ve enabled the Developer Options mentioned above. Just go to Settings > Developer Options and flip the switch for Show System UI Tuner. Back up a step and you’ll see System UI Tuner at the bottom of your Settings list.

In System UI Tuner, tap Quick Settings and you’ll see a mockup of your Quick Settings shade. You can add tiles (press the + at the bottom), move the toggles around (tap and drag) or delete toggles (tap and drag to the bottom). Your changes will be reflected in the Quick Settings menu.

5. Get to know RAM Manager

Android Marshmallow is all about giving us even more power over our beloved Androids, and RAM is a huge part of that. Go to Settings > Memory > Memory used by apps, to see a list of all your memory-hogging apps.

Tapping an entry will show you detailed info and give you the option to force stop the app if necessary. Take some time to familiarize yourself with this part of your Android – it’s a great tool to help you understand what RAM usage is normal and what’s out of the ordinary.

6. Find your Downloaded, Running, All and Disabled app tabs

The RAM Manager is also effectively the new home for the ‘Running’ tab that was in previous versions of the Settings > Apps section. Unlike previous Android versions, Android Marshmallow doesn’t break your apps list down into tabs for ‘Downloaded’, ‘Running’, ‘All’ and ‘Disabled’.

The ‘Running’ tab now appears as RAM Manager; ‘All’ and ‘Disabled’ are now options in a drop-down menu, accessible once you’ve disabled at least one app. The default view in Settings > Apps is the ‘All’ apps tab. We’ll have to wait and see how devices with SD cards display the information that was previously found in the ‘SD Card’ tab.

7. Automatically associate links

Android Marshmallow allows you to automatically associate specific apps with specific types of links. So if someone emails you a Twitter link, for example, you can set Twitter as the default app for opening such links, rather than picking from a list every time.

Although you could set certain apps as default apps before, the system didn’t work all that well. Now you can associate specific domain URLS with an app of your choice. For example, all facebook.com links can be set to open either in Facebook, Tinfoil or another third-party Facebook app automatically.

To do this, go to Settings > Apps, then tap the overflow menu at the top right and go to Advanced > App Links, then flip the switch for the apps that you want to set to automatically intercept links from specific domains.

8. Ignore battery optimizations

Android Marshmallow delivers a great new feature called Doze. When your phone or tablet has been inactive for a while, Android Marshmallow will automatically hibernate it (although alarms and priority notifications can still come through).

You can also still use the Battery Saving Mode, just like in Lollipop. Now, however, you can exclude up to three apps from the battery optimizations imposed by Battery Saver or Doze, so they can run at full strength while everything else takes a rest.

Go to Settings > Battery and tap the overflow menu in the top right, choose Ignore Optimizations and select the apps you want this to apply to. You can access the same menu from Settings > Apps > overflow menu > Advanced > Ignore Optimizations.

9. Activate Google Now from the lock screen

You might have missed this one, but the lock screen shortcut to the dialer has been replaced by Google Now. This is a welcome change; you can use Google Now to call someone just by speaking (along with plenty of other things), so you haven’t lost out on functionality by losing the dialer shortcut.

Simply swipe from the bottom left-hand corner of the lock screen to get Google Now ready to receive your voice command.

10. Enjoy Google Now on Tap

Google Now on Tap is easily my favorite feature in Android Marshmallow. It brings Google Now functionality to every part of your phone or tablet. There’s no need to switch apps or copy and paste phrases anymore – once it’s enabled, you can bring up Google Now on Tap from any app, simply by selecting text and long-pressing the Home button.
