What makes an app native
A native Android app is built directly against Android's own frameworks rather than wrapped from a website, which is what gives it reliable performance, proper access to device features (camera, GPS, notifications), and a look that matches how Android users actually expect apps to behave. We build for your specific use case — a customer-facing app, an internal tool for field staff, a booking system — rather than starting from a generic template and bolting on features.
Not every business needs a native app. If your use case is mostly informational — a menu, a catalogue, contact details — a well-built mobile website usually serves the same purpose for less cost. We'll tell you honestly if that applies before recommending a full app build.
What's included
Our process
Requirements
What the app needs to do, who uses it, and which device features it depends on.
Design
Screens and flow designed against Android's own interaction patterns, not a generic template.
Development
Built in Kotlin or Java, with regular test builds you can install and try.
Testing
Functional, performance and device-compatibility testing across screen sizes.
Launch
Google Play Store submission and publishing, plus documentation for your team.
Who this is for
Businesses that need reliable performance, offline capability, or access to device hardware that a website can't provide — delivery and logistics apps, field-service tools, apps handling payments or sensitive data. If your primary need is just an informational presence, a mobile-optimised website is usually the better first step, and cheaper to maintain.
Engagement & pricing
Priced per project based on screen count, backend complexity and device-feature integration — quoted in writing after a scoping call. Most Android builds run 6–12 weeks depending on scope; complex apps with custom backends take longer.
Why businesses choose TechBricx for Android development
The same team that builds your Android app can also handle the backend, the marketing around launch, and ongoing support afterward — so you're not managing three separate vendors for one product.
Frequently asked questions
Both, depending on what you need — we can build a new backend, integrate with an existing one, or work with a third-party API you're already using.
A straightforward app typically takes 6-8 weeks from approved design to Play Store submission. Apps with custom backends or complex integrations take longer, scoped during requirements.
Yes — store listing setup and submission is included; we also handle the back-and-forth if Google requests changes before approval.
Ongoing support and maintenance is available on a retained basis, covering bug fixes, OS-version compatibility and feature updates.
Not directly — a native Android app is Android-specific. If you need both platforms, cross-platform development or a separate native iOS build are the two routes, and we'll help you weigh which fits your budget and timeline.
