Android Development Services — Design Mockup | Dreams Technologies

Android Development Services Built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose

Google Play now requires every new app and update to target Android 16 by the end of August 2026 — and the platform itself is shifting toward on-device intelligence. We build native Android apps with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, reaching for the NDK only when a workload genuinely needs it.

What We Build

Android Solutions We Deliver

Native Android Apps with Kotlin & Jetpack Compose

Compose is now the standard way to build Android UI — declarative, Kotlin-only, and built around smart recomposition that only re-renders what actually changed. We build new apps on it directly rather than defaulting to the older View system.

High-Performance Apps with the NDK

For games, real-time video processing, or heavy computation where every millisecond matters, we write the performance-critical path in C/C++ via the NDK — and keep everything else in Kotlin, rather than reaching for native code by default.

On-Device AI Features

As Android shifts toward built-in intelligence, we integrate on-device ML — smart suggestions, image and text recognition, summarization — using ML Kit and on-device models, where it genuinely improves the product rather than as a checkbox feature.

Google Play Compliance & API Level Migration

Every new app and update must target Android 16 by August 31, 2026, or it becomes invisible to new users on modern devices. We handle target API migrations, deprecated API cleanup, and the Play Console submission process itself.

Offline-First Apps with Room & WorkManager

For apps that need to work reliably without a constant connection, we build local-first data layers with Room and schedule background sync with WorkManager, so the app stays usable and consistent regardless of connectivity.

Legacy Android Modernization

Still running Java and the old View/XML layout system? We modernize toward Kotlin and Jetpack Compose incrementally, screen by screen, rather than forcing a disruptive full rewrite.

Why Us

What Makes Us a Dependable Android Development Partner

Over a decade of shipping native Android applications across 500+ clients globally. Here's what that experience means for your project.

03

AWS & Microsoft Azure Certified Partners

The backend infrastructure behind your app is built by a team vetted by the platforms you already trust — direct partner support, early feature access, and deep cloud expertise baked into every deployment.

Compose or the NDK, Based on Your App's Actual Bottleneck

We don't reach for native C/C++ by default just because it sounds faster. Compose handles the vast majority of apps well — the NDK earns its place only where profiling shows it's actually needed.

Pragmatic Architecture
05

Compliance Ready by Default

Target API level requirements, data privacy disclosures, and secure authentication are designed in from the first architecture decision, not patched in right before submission.

Security & Compliance
06

One of Five Core Mobile Stacks We Maintain

Android (Native) sits alongside iOS, Flutter, Ionic, and React Native as a core mobile service we list and actively maintain client apps on across our own published case studies.

Battle-Tested
Our Process

From First Call to Play Store Launch

01
1–2 Weeks

Discovery & Architecture Planning

We map your requirements and decide whether Compose alone covers it or specific screens genuinely need the NDK.

02
1–3 Weeks

Design & Prototyping

High-fidelity prototypes built in Figma, refined through real user feedback before development begins.

03
Sprint-Based

Development & Integration

Continuous integration via Gradle and GitHub Actions, with weekly progress reports and ongoing Compose UI testing.

04
90-Day Support

Launch, Submission & Optimization

We handle Play Console submission, monitor crash and performance data, and tune the app based on real usage for the first 90 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of Android projects do you take on?
Native apps with Kotlin and Compose, high-performance NDK work for games and real-time processing, on-device AI features, offline-first apps, Play Store compliance and API level migrations, and legacy Android modernization.
Should we use Jetpack Compose or the NDK for our app?
For the large majority of apps, Compose alone is the right answer — faster to build, easier to maintain. The NDK earns its place for genuinely performance-critical work like games or real-time video processing. We'll tell you honestly which one your app needs.
Is our app affected by the Android 16 target API requirement?
If you haven't updated your app's target SDK since the requirement took effect, yes — any new submission or update after August 31, 2026 will be blocked, and existing users on newer devices may eventually lose visibility into your app on the Play Store.
Can you add on-device AI features to our Android app?
Yes. Using ML Kit and on-device models, we can add features like smart suggestions, image recognition, and text summarization without sending user data to a server — where it genuinely adds value, not as a checkbox feature.
Can you modernize our existing Java or View-based Android app?
Yes. We regularly take over existing Android codebases — auditing dependencies and modernizing toward Kotlin and Compose incrementally, screen by screen, rather than recommending an unnecessary full rewrite.
What happens after the app is launched?
We include 90 days of post-launch support covering crash monitoring, bug fixes, and performance tuning. After that, we offer optional retainers for feature development and staying current with Google Play's annual API level requirements.
