How to detect Android Memory Leak?

Developers engaged in Android application development know how awful security lapse is memory leak.  Memory leak can also create a number of issues in applications. A memory leak probably occurs when storage in heap is created and then not deleted. It is of course a horrible problem in any application.

There are generally two types of memory related errors: out of memory and memory leakage. The first type of memory error tries to allocate memory that the heap of application has. It’s difficult to find leakage. But it can simply be identified once the application begins receiving a crash report. But not all crashes are caused by memory leakages and thus it turns out to be difficult to find memory leakage. If an object is held for a long period even its purpose has finished, memory leakage can occur. However, there is garbage collector collecting data objects, but once application hold these objects, even garbage collector will be useless.

Tools are here to test leaks. Mat plug-in, Eclipse memory analyzer, Valgrind, and Android SDK’s traceview are the names to a few of them. There are two ways offered by Android SDK to outline the memory usage of an application. These include heap dumps and tracker.

How can I make money from an Android app?

Android has nearly 80% global market share according to market research firms like IDC, Gartner and several others. Its journey started with nothing and today, it’s the only dominating OS powering almost all sorts and sizes of smart devices available in the market. It attracted both local and international device manufacturers who soon realized the potential of this OS.  Currently, almost all device manufacturers are offering wide ranges of Android smartphones and tablets.
Android OS has charmed mobile app developers too who were ignoring it in the beginning. But now things have changed completely. Mobile app developers are taking it very seriously, especially those who want to venture in the mobile world.

But there is an issue with Android apps. Users want them for free; especially those who are from developing countries. And the truth is that there are more Android device users in developing countries than developed ones.
So for succeeding in the tough world of Android, developers need to offer their apps for free. But is this question “how can I make money from an Android app?” hitting your mind. Of course it is because I am emphasizing too much on offering all your apps for free. Here ahead, I am going to share some points which will help you – the Android developer – understand how you can make money even with a free app.
Put in-app advertising
The simplest way to make money with free apps is you add some advertisements with it. It is a proven way of monetization and not only Android but it applies on others too. There are some good ad networks like InMobi and AdMob which provide app advertisements. Google also offers own ad-serving service. Implementing ads to an app is not difficult operation.
Sponsorship
If you have an app for a special niche of people, you can get it sponsored by partnering with a company /brand. Yes, it’s not easy to get sponsorship in current market conditions but once you succeed to have even a single sponsor who wants your app to get its messages to across audience, you will hardly need to see towards other sources.  A decent sponsor will be willing to pay more than the cost of individual advertising slots. All it takes whether your app can really speak what sponsor company wants to hear.
In-app purchases
In-app purchase is another widely adopted way for making money out of free apps. In this model app is available almost for free but to open some special features, a user needs to pay a fee. Many Android developers have adopted this way for their gaming apps.
Upgrades
I remember about an app which I downloaded for free from Google Play. I was excited after using it for some days. I became nearly addicted to it and wanted to use some additional features of it. Guess what happened? They were locked. The app was asking me to buy its premium version to use those features.
I was using the lite version of that Android app which indeed created too much interest in me. After all, I had no choice but to pay $1 to buy the premium version of that app and yes, spending that money didn’t go in vain because my excitement increased four times when I used the paid version.
That’s what you can do with your free app. Consider your free app as an invitation for users to buy its paid version. Try to make this invitation as appealing as possible.

Paid apps do not often get good number of downloads even if they are good by features and functioning. On the contrary, users download any free app they like. With free apps, they lose nothing. If they don’t like it, they uninstall it.

Top reasons why your business needs an Android app

If you still don’t have an Android app for your business, you could be missing huge opportunities – be they are related to your products or services. Android is today’s most dominating mobile OS and nearly 80% smartphones and 65% tablets are running it in as the core software. Android is biggest market player Several data research firms have reported that Android is the largest platform when it comes to powering the number of smart devices. With big market shares and more than 1.5 million apps, Android has turned into such market player which can hardly be competed in coming future. The Android app development gives business an opening to enter this world and flourish

Google has optimized/customized all its products/services for Android 

Google’s contribution in the web world is incomparable. We better know this name by search engine Google. In almost all cases whatever we search / access on the web, its discovery begins with Google. Google itself offers a largest range of products / services that we have been using for more than a decade. The company has long before tailored its own products for Android OS. With a dedicated Android app development, businesses can easily place themselves among a largest user base and of course, integrate a lot of Google’s products /services to it for giving a boost to their business process.

Low investment and high return on investment

Hiring an Android application development company often costs less than hiring an iOS developer. Almost all software tools for the Android app development are available for free. It also decreases the cost of a project. In spite of that, return remains higher as there is huge adoption of Android powered devices which I have already mentioned above.

 Customization beyond one’s imagination

If you need an app to use internally and for this reason, if you also need to customize the core software, no mobile platform is better than Android for this purpose. Android is an open source yet the most powerful platform for any sort of computing you need. Some innovative people have also powered small satellites, washing machines, refrigerators, gaming devices and various other gadgets / systems with Android OS.

Multiple channels of distribution

If your app is not getting desired position on Google Play because it’s competitive enough, you have other app distribution platforms. These platforms are less competitive and an app distributed here does also get good exposure. It’s not possible with other platforms.

Steps to Hire the Best of the Android Apps Developers in India

Do you have an app idea? Are you looking for Android apps developers in India? Are you confused between hiring the best companies among several others engaged here in the development of Android apps? Of course you are. It’s because software development market in India is vast enough. It’s made of thousands of development companies. Often time people looking for an Android developer aren’t able to choose the best one. Here are the steps of hiring the best of the Android apps developers in India.

1 Check whether you have in house development capabilities or not

The first step is you evaluate your staff for in-house development. Generally, most of the businesses have an IT team. You can approach your IT team and ask members if anyone of them is interested in taking the task. There are strong chances that some of the members in your IT team might be working as freelancer.  By assigning the task to any member interested in, you can save huge money that you will spend in hiring third party developer.

2. Post a vacancy advertisement 

But if you don’t have required in-house talents, you need to hire an outsider, third party developer. Begin it with advertising that you have vacancy for Android apps developers in India. The first place to post the vacancy is your website. Then there are forums, job sites, freelance job portals, etc where you can post the requirements and skills you are looking for. Once you get response from candidates, ask them to provide you the samples of Android apps they have already worked for.

• Decide on budget 
Once you have decided to hire a developer, it’s time you chalk out the budget. Often time, developer will let you know the budget of implementing an idea. Once it matches with your limit, you can proceed with it. If you want to keep the budget low, the best approach is you hire freelance developers.

• Check the work samples 
Before you hire a developer, thoroughly check all the project references it has offered. Check each of the projects and download the respective Android apps from Google Play. On the download page of particular app, you can check its reviews & star ratings given by users, number of downloads, its UI & UX, navigation style, load time, and weaker areas.  Check as many apps as possible because a single one will not expose you to the all the skills the developer has.

• Fix an interview 
If you are satisfied with work of the developer you wish to hire, it’s time you fix an interview with him / her. It will most probably happen online. Keep your IT team as close as possible to understand different technical sides you aren’t fully aware of. Also, you can keep the IT team in the whole loop of conversation to take place for the progress of the project. In interview, the first question you should ask is that whether the developer has any sort of related or respective experience in your industry. Having no prior experience in your industry doesn’t mean the developer will not be able to a build a best app. If the developer thoroughly understands, and reacts intelligently/creatively to your idea, it can develop it.

• Talk about budget and set a time line 
Once you have interviewed the candidate, it’s time you work out the budget and set a time in which the development is supposed to be concluded. This approach will help you choose the best of the Android apps developers in India by evaluating their ability, experience, skills, creativity and various other factors.
