Today, the most used platform for building android apps is Google’s G Suite, which is free to use and offers many amazing features that are worth trying out. This article will cover some of the popular tools you can use to build Android applications on any operating system.
Before we get into it, let’s discuss why I’m using a tool that does not support our application. For example, if you are planning to use an iOS application, you need to have Xcode installed. But since I am currently using Java and Spring, I decided to try out something different by running Flutter instead. And here is what I found.
I recently came across this interesting app called Mobile App Builder (MAB). MAB lets you add your own Android apps to an existing web or native app without creating a separate project. If you don’t know how to do that yet, check out my previous guide if you are having trouble getting started with such technologies. Let me explain the process so that you can understand where I got these tools from. Here is a list of all the tools used for this application.
