Being the most used mobile platform in the world, it is imperative that Android is at the heart of your mobile ecosystem. We closely follow the Android platform to understand its functionality, growth, adaptability, and open-source community so that we may build apps that are great for basic users as well as power users.
What technologies we use
Android Studio, based on IntelliJ, is the preferred IDE for developing apps on Android. Kotlin is Google’s preferred modern programming language for Android development, alongside Java when required.
These are two of the core systems used to build the app’s user interface. We use these to build the experience that is user-friendly, accessible and responsive across screen sizes.
We develop Android apps using the native Android SDK alongside Google APIs to develop the highest-quality experience that integrates seamlessly with Google and Google Play services. These include: offline functionality, push notifications for real-time engagement, camera integration, location-based services, bluetooth connectivity and Google Wallet integration.
At Vioside, we develop Android apps that follow its architecture, while designing the apps using Android’s Material Design for mobile, tablets, watch, TVs and Auto. We approach Android development in the professional manner that it requires by following the community, using the latest best practices, and keeping scalability, security, and accessibility in mind.
Vioside specialises in the development of native apps. This means that we use Android technologies directly, which helps develop an app that is future-proof and ready for when new technologies and devices are released by Google. This approach also ensures the best possible experience for users, using standards that an Android user is already accustomed to
Why Vioside //
We are a small team on purpose so that clients will have direct communication with those doing the work. No bureaucracy and middlemen, but long-lasting relationships.
Our clients have full ownership of the project. We just need access to do the work. Therefore we want to make sure that clients understand what’s going on.
We use industry-standard practices in our work. We support our code with documentation and we review each other’s work. This ensures that any other developer can easily understand it and get to work.
We prioritise best practices to make sure the app is secure by design. This also extends further to support accessibility in apps.
Being software engineers is not just about building apps, it's about building apps the right way. Scalable and secure, but also compliant with necessary regulations.

We do not retain ownership of anything we develop for you. We will help you open accounts in your name, and all that is developed is owned by you. We simply request access to your accounts so that we can provide you with the services we need to deliver.
Yes, we will help you by explaining the process of what you need to open a developer account with Apple. We will also help with the submission of the apps to the stores and going through Apple’s review process.
We’re flexible according to what the needs of your project or your company are. We can work on an hourly basis, providing estimates as needed, which is ideal for ad-hoc or agile projects. We can work with a fixed-price, ideal for projects which have all the details already ironed out and detailed. And we can work on a retainer basis, having a predetermined set of hours scheduled per month – ideal for long-term development support, for example, to other software development agencies. Or a mix of these as needed.
When working together, we aim for a long-lasting relationship and not a one-off project. After launch, we will help monitor performance and help with troubleshooting. We will also build documentation to help you troubleshoot, and provide user manuals as needed. We also provide a number of support options according to the needs of your company. One option could be on-demand and on an hourly basis, another option is with a number of pre-determined hours per month, or a fully-defined service-level-agreement.
Whenever a client requests that we take over an existing project, we start by requesting to have a look at the existing source code and analyse the current situation. We will then provide you with a report of our findings, which includes how the project is currently working, and any technical debt that might need fixing or adjusting.
You can get started by contacting us with a brief describing what you’re looking for. We can meet up to discuss and iron out the details. After this phase, we will provide our proposal on how we can approach the solution. We will walk you through the whole process.
