What You Get With Our Android App Development Services

🎨

Does the Android app follow Google's Material Design 3?

Every screen implements Material You with dynamic colour theming, adaptive layouts for phones, tablets, and foldables, and navigation patterns that pass Google Play's quality guidelines.

How do you handle the huge variety of Android devices?

We build with responsive, adaptive layouts and test against a real-device matrix covering the top 20 Android handsets popular in Australia — including Samsung Galaxy, Pixel, and OPPO lines across Android 10 to 14.

🔒

Is the Android app secure for sensitive business data?

We use Android Keystore encryption, biometric authentication (Fingerprint, Face Unlock), ProGuard code obfuscation, Play Integrity API checks, and SSL certificate pinning for all API traffic.

📡

Will the app work without an internet connection?

Yes — we implement offline-first architecture using Room database, WorkManager for background sync, and DataStore for preferences, ensuring reliable operation in low-connectivity environments common in regional Australia.

🔔

How do we send targeted push notifications to Android users?

Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) integration provides reliable push delivery with rich media, deep links, notification channels, and topic-based or individual targeting connected to your CRM or marketing platform.

🗺️

Can the app track location and use Google Maps?

We integrate Google Maps SDK with real-time GPS tracking, geofencing, route optimisation, and Places API. Battery-efficient background location uses the Fused Location Provider for field-service and logistics apps.

💳

How do we accept payments through the Android app?

Play Billing Library 6 integration handles in-app subscriptions, consumables, and one-time purchases. Google Pay SDK provides one-tap checkout, and Stripe Android SDK covers card payments with 3D Secure.

📊

How will we measure user engagement and app performance?

Firebase Analytics and Google Analytics 4 are integrated from day one with custom event tracking. Firebase Performance Monitoring and Crashlytics provide real-time visibility into app health in production.

Android App Developers Who Know the Full Google Ecosystem

OpenMalo's Kotlin-certified Android engineers have spent 13 years navigating the complexity of the Android ecosystem — fragmented device landscape, OS version diversity, and Google Play's evolving policy requirements. Our 160+ delivered Android apps span consumer super-apps, B2B enterprise tools, IoT device management platforms, and government-grade field applications used by thousands of Australian workers daily.

We build exclusively with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose on all new projects, following Clean Architecture and MVVM patterns that produce maintainable, testable codebases. Android App Bundle delivery, Play Feature Delivery, and Baseline Profiles are standard on every project — ensuring fast install times and optimal performance across the full Australian Android device market.

Android App Development FAQs

Common questions about our android app development services.

Ask Us Anything →
How much does Android app development cost in Australia?
Android app development in Australia starts from AUD $20,000 for a simple MVP and ranges to AUD $180,000+ for complex enterprise platforms. Costs depend on feature complexity, number of user roles, backend requirements, and third-party integrations. OpenMalo provides a fixed-price quote after a free discovery session.
How long does it take to build an Android app?
A basic Android MVP takes 8–12 weeks. A mid-complexity app with a backend, push notifications, and multiple screens takes 3–5 months. A complex enterprise app can take 6–12 months. We provide a milestone-based delivery schedule in every project proposal.
Do you handle Google Play Store submission?
Yes — completely. We set up or configure your Google Play Console account, prepare store listings, screenshots, feature graphics, content rating questionnaire, data safety declarations, and handle the submission. We also respond to any Play policy review feedback.
Which Android versions do you support?
By default we target Android 10 (API 29) and above, covering over 97% of active Android devices in Australia. We can adjust the minimum API level based on your audience. We test against Android 10, 12, 13, and 14 on real devices.
Do you build in Kotlin or Java?
All new Android development at OpenMalo is done in Kotlin using Jetpack Compose for the UI layer. We also maintain and modernise existing Java codebases, including full or incremental migration to Kotlin for teams looking to reduce technical debt.
Can you build both the Android app and the backend API?
Yes. Our full-stack team builds Node.js, Laravel, or Python/FastAPI backends and RESTful or GraphQL APIs in-house. You have a single vendor responsible for architecture consistency, security, and the entire delivery pipeline.
How do you handle so many different Android device sizes and brands?
We design with responsive, adaptive Jetpack Compose layouts from the start. Physical testing covers Samsung Galaxy (S and A series), Google Pixel, and OPPO devices — the three most popular brands in the Australian Android market — across phone, tablet, and foldable form factors.
Can you take over maintenance of an existing Android app?
Yes. We begin with a paid technical audit assessing code quality, security, architecture, and Google Play compliance posture. We then provide a prioritised remediation plan and can begin ongoing maintenance and feature development within 2–3 weeks.
How do you ensure the Android app is secure?
Security is built in from the start: Android Keystore for cryptographic keys, network security config for certificate pinning, ProGuard/R8 code obfuscation, Play Integrity API for device attestation, and regular dependency vulnerability scanning via Dependabot.
What ongoing support do you provide after the Android app launches?
Flexible post-launch maintenance plans start from AUD $1,200/month, covering Android version compatibility updates, target API level upgrades required by Google Play, bug fixes, crash monitoring via Firebase Crashlytics, and agreed feature enhancements with monthly reporting.
