Google Chrome Hack Lets Android Apps Run On Browser‏

Android apps have always been confined to the mobile, but what if users were to enable the 1.3 million mobile apps to work on Chrome, Mac and Windows OS? This is what one developer has been able to achieve, going under the alias of “Vladikoff.”

Vladikoff used App Runtime for Chrome and extended the possibilities. The official app only support a few apps on Chrome OS, but Vladikoff’s work supports all browsers, which are able to run Chrome 37 or above.

Users who want to try this out need to be able to download Android apps on Chrome, through a custom build of ARC called ARChon, allowing Native Extensions to be cross platform. This does require a bit of technical know-how, even though Vladikoff has worked on smoothing the process.

This custom program will allow Android apps to work on all devices. The apps appear to work as they would on a mobile, albeit without the touch-screen. Users of the program have said it crashes a lot, but other than that it can work and Android apps can be blown up to fit Chromebook screen sizes.

On Chrome OS, the program does work a bit better, thanks to Google’s optimisation of Native Apps. On Mac, it is still pretty good with the different APK packages, but on Windows it is almost impossible to run Android apps for more than 10 minutes, without a crash.

There has been some conversation on the idea of merging Android with Chrome OS. Google has had huge success with Android, but Chrome OS has been rather lacklustre outside of education.

Adding Chrome OS into Android would be an interesting idea, considering Android OS has been ported to larger tablets, over 18-inches, showing apps can run on larger displays, without the apps looking too “blown-up.

All Android apps are not successful because of some reasons. Most of the times the developers can’t

understand a consumer’s demand. All the mobile app developers are not very good in kind of mobile

development environment. For this sometimes they forget or misuse the fundamentals of mobile

application development that make actually good for nothing though it is not too hard to make a

successful mobile application. This article covers many useful tips that will help a mobile application

developer to make a successful application.

Responsive Web Design

A mobile app should be responsive to all the mobile devices and go along with cross browser

compatibility. It is a kind of web design which deals with both cross browser and cross platform

compatibilities. Web developers make code for desktops, handheld PCs, and Smartphone. Android

4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is that type of device in which responsive web design is used. This device

tries to combine all Android powered Smart phones and tablet PCs.

Website owner should decide on responsive website design and mobile apps development based

upon the development cost, implementation time frame, design approach, user experience,

performance, and ongoing maintenance.

Again monetisation is also an important factor. The rate in which the mobile apps can be monetised

cannot be compared with mobile based website.

Fragmentation an important factor:

Android developers only had an option to build two layouts in a screen before so that the OS could

select the most suitable of them. But still it is not a solution of the question of fragmentation. After

releasing Android 3.2 developers are able to create more than two layouts. So Android developers

can make an affective and successful Android apps with little efforts.

Socialization and Monetisation

Socialization through social media groups are important. As if a happy customer of yours is

successfully using your app and can post a review or experience about using the same app then the

message will get viral and spread across all the social media community that he has joined.

Let the first impression of icon and theme tag last long

First impression is the last impression

The Google play has thousands of mobile apps but all the apps are not equally popular. To make

an app popular a developer has to keep in mind that first impressions of icon last long. So to make

successful app a developer must have to make an attractive icon for the app. If the icon of the app is

becoming attractive the users will show more and more interest about that app. Apart from icon you

must make the theme tag line very very important. You must describe your product in one line. Your

tag line should communicate what you are selling and it should be under the right category.

The Price Factor

The price factor is not so effective in mobile apps like a PC app. Most of the apps are free of cost or

available at a very low price. So price factor is not so much effective in mobile apps. Initially to get

popularity you must keep your app free for download. The app is the main route for your product

website or company catalogue.
