8. INCLUDE LOCAL LANGUAGE CAPABILITY
• Android officially supports 47 languages and as input using keyboard it
supports 86 languages and 52 languages via handwriting.
• Save translations of words into the app for different languages.
• Allow user to download different languages for inputing text using phone
settings.
• Handwriting is another new feature where you can just write in the way
you write on paper and it will automatically convert that to digital text.
9. DON’T MAKE USERS WAIT
• Prefetch Data
• Run Background Threads for complex
operations
10. OPTIMIZE FOR LOW MEMORY
• Use allocation tracker for keeping track for memory
taken by each object
• This library by Square which will give you information
about memory leak (https://github.com/square/
leakcanary)
11. OPTIMIZE FOR SCREEN SIZE
dp(Density independent Pixels) → 1 dp = 1 physical px for
160 dpi, and for 240 dpi 1 dp = 1.5 physical px.
→ px = dp * (dpi/160)
/// dp table
12. REDUCE BATTERY CONSUMPTION
• Battery consumption is directly proportional to network
calls, thus choose between network calls wisely
• Observe and Optimize (Use tools like Battery Historian)
13. CHOOSING BETWEEN NETWORK CALLS
• Edge takes long time to perform network operation, but
takes less battery
• Wifi takes less time to perform network operation, but take
more battery than edge
• 3g will take more time to perform network operation than
Wifi, and also consumes more battery than Wifi.
• 4g will take less time to perform network operation than Wifi,
and also consumes less power than 3g.
14. PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE.
• Persist.
• Be patient.
• Be determined.
Good Code will fix all problems ;)
