Android Entwicklungsdienstleistungen

MicrocosmWorks offers native Android app development with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, Java legacy app modernization, Android TV and Wear OS development, widget creation, and Play Store deployment. We build apps following Google's Material Design 3 guidelines and Android architecture best practices.

We use Jetpack Compose as our primary UI toolkit for new Android projects, leveraging its declarative approach for faster development and easier maintenance. For existing apps with XML layouts, we offer incremental migration to Compose or continued development in the View-based system based on your preference.

Android app development with MicrocosmWorks ranges from $6,000 for a straightforward MVP to $55,000+ for complex enterprise applications, with hourly rates between $10 and $50. Android projects can be slightly more cost-effective than iOS due to the open development ecosystem and less restrictive testing and deployment processes.

We test across a matrix of devices covering different screen sizes, Android versions (back to API level 24), and manufacturers using Firebase Test Lab and real device farms. We use responsive layouts, ConstraintLayout, and window size classes to ensure consistent experiences across phones, tablets, and foldable devices.

Yes, we implement background processing using WorkManager for reliable deferred tasks, foreground services for ongoing operations, and AlarmManager for precise scheduling. For push notifications, we integrate Firebase Cloud Messaging with support for notification channels, rich media, and deep linking.
