At present, Android dominates worldwide smartphone operating system market. But users have option to choose from over 3.3 million available in Google Play Store. Also, several studies suggest that most users abandon mobile apps after one use. You must explore ways to make your Android app standout in the crowd and deliver optimal user experience to prevent user abandonment. There are a number of factors that make users abandon a mobile app. Many users abandon mobile apps with inefficient performance. Like mobile websites, Android mobile apps also need to load in 2 seconds to keep users engaged. You must focus on Android application performance to accomplish more downloads, enhance brand image, and take advantage of various app monetization techniques. Also, your Android app development strategy also needs to implement a number of performance improvement tips and best practices.
Simple Tips to Improve Android App Performance Optimize App’s Performance based on Cold Start An Android app can be launched in three distinct states – cold start, warm start and lukewarm start. In warm and lukewarm starts the system brings the app to from the background to the foreground, whereas the app starts from the scratch in cold start. While assessing Android application performance precisely, you need to launch it in cold start. Likewise, you need to improve the performance of the app in cold start. The trick will help you to improve the mobile app’s performance in each of the three states.
Minimize Resources Loaded in Start-up Time As noted earlier, most users nowadays expect Android apps to load in 2 seconds. Each time a user clicks on the app icon, the app is initialized along with resources required to display data. You can easily make the Android app load faster by reducing the resources being loads in start-up time. The resources being loaded in start-up time can be reduced in a number of ways – making changes to the code, reducing size of bitmaps, using dependency injection libraries, and loading the basic resources required to display data.
Implement Memory Cache The Android application performance will be impacted if the app sends additional HTTP requests to the server to fetch data. You can easily reduce the number of HTTP requests made to the server by implementing memory cache. The memory cache will display the data captured during previous session and load the data by assuming the option to be selected by the user. However, you must cache both client-side and server-side data. The server-side caching will make the app exchange data with the server and respond to user requests more quickly.
