Have an idea for an Android app? Then be sure to check out this advice on Android design, which comes straight from the Android User Experience Team at Google.<\/i><\/p>\n
Design is often talked about in relation to iOS apps. But that doesn’t mean visual design and user experience (UX) aren’t just as important for Android apps as well.<\/p>\n
After all, you want your Android app to provide an engaging experience while also being\u00a0simple to use. You want your users to love it and tell everyone they know.<\/p>\n
You also\u00a0want (or maybe “need” is more accurate) your app to stand out amongst the roughly 1.6 million Android apps available in the Google Play store<\/a> as of July 2015. (That’s slightly higher than the 1.5 million iOS apps available in the Apple App Store, in case you were wondering.)<\/p>\n The Google I\/O Conference in 2012 marked the first year that a full day of sessions was dedicated to Android design.<\/p>\n In the hour-long video below, the Android User Experience Team discusses\u00a0the Android Design Guide. They also share some great “tricks of the trade for creating apps that delight users and help them accomplish their goals.”<\/p>\nDon’t worry. All of your Android design questions are about to be answered.<\/h2>\n
