Android App Development Reward

It turns out that the decision to buy out Android and absorb it as part of its member company was more than just a great investment for Google. In fact, it must have been a carefully calculated and bold strategic move that has contributed to Google's immense success in the technology industry.

Android software is one of the world's most widely used smartphone platforms. Google saw Android as a factor to marvel about and a money-making opportunity to seize. Many may not be aware that Google has set up millions of dollars aside for any application developer that can manage to come up with a revolutionary app for its consumers.

Android will reward you for your developed app

Regardless of nationality, race, academic background or age, the idea of having an opportunity to make money developing apps is by far one of the most attractive incentives in the technology industry.

This type of development is possible because Android has open source code and permissive software allowing it to be freely modified and distributed by developers, manufacturers and wireless carriers. This technology also provides a great incentive for developers who no longer have to develop apps from scratch.

These software qualities have made Android the most preferred mobile operating system for tech companies that factor in lower production costs, ease of customization and weight issues into their production models.

Open source software creates “millions” of opportunities

Even though Android was designed primarily for smartphones, tablets and other touchscreen mobile devices, it is also used on game consoles, televisions and other electronics with similar software functions.

Because of its open source nature, thousands of apps developers are finding new ways of converting other electronic gadgets that were initially released on different operating systems, to become Android-compatible.

The sky is the limit for anyone who is really interested in developing the next revolutionizing Android app or if you want to make a quick million in cash. The great thing is if anyone is not yet familiar with developing apps, you can get free, step-by-step lessons from Android's website with instructions on how to build your first app.


During these basic developer lessons, you can learn, not only how to create an android project, but also how to run a de-bugged version of the app. It also teaches how to build a simple user interface and handle user input at your own pace.

It is not unusual to come across some savvy app developers claiming Google has not yet mastered the full power of the Android mobile operating system. Currently, over 700,000 Android apps have been developed and over 25 million downloads have been recorded worldwide. It is highly probable that the next generation of operating systems will evolve from Android.
