In order to make your developed android app gain a strong place among millions of other apps, it is important for you to focus on its UI(User Interface). The user interface allows you to use it easily and bring a unique brand recognition to the market.
Clarity and simplicity should guide the design of the interface of your application. The sole purpose of your application is to facilitate user interaction. This can be achieved when the UX is easy to use with a minimum of clicks to reach an item.
2) Know the target audience
To get success for your developed Android app, it is important to identify your end users and focus on their expectations for that application. There are several factors that influence the definition of your target audience: profession, age group, location, etc. All the functions of the application depend on the preferences of the target users.
For example, when you are targeting the age group between 10 to 18 years old, the application focuses mainly on content information and graphic representation. While the elderly people seek information relevant to the product or service. This criterion allows Android app developers to design and develop the application accordingly.

Today, with cross-platform, it can support a wide range of devices and deliver applications without problems.

However, integrating all the latest technologies can complicate the developed android application. So, it is better to choose one or two of them to help you meet your goals.
5) Check the performance
The last thing you need to do is to inspect the developed application whether it has met the standards decided or not. It is important that you try the app before launching. Track the response time of the application too. Try not to make your users wait too long to receive the required information.
Remove any errors that impede the effective performance of the application to improve the user experience. In addition to the testing process, be your own critic and re-verify the application to offer a high quality. Always stay tuned to receive comments on your application.
