Smart phones revolutionized the way people communicated around the world. There have been two to three major mobile platforms which created the highest impact. Android is one of those operating systems for mobile phones which have become highly popular. This is because the unique features like gaming, emailing navigation and so on are available in mobile devices powered by Android and usability highly improves due to all these.

As the usage of all these smartphones increase, the demand for the applications and games which are compatible with these devices is increasing as well. The android game developer is in huge demand along with app developers because of high end devices coming up which can run games of very good quality.

The reason why android is so famous among the masses in terms of development is because it is an open source operating system for mobile phones. With this OS developers can come up with customized apps and games based on user requirements.

Why to go for Android Game development?

The programming language used for Android’s app development is Java. This is an important drawing point for developing games and apps for Android OS. Java has been and still is one of the most popular languages since long and so it is easy for the average developers to pick up android development and develop apps worthy of usage. Other mobile platforms come up with new invented languages for development while in Android the learning curve has decreased to almost nothing so the developer can start development and come up with good apps in no time.

Another unique drawing point is that android OS is not licensed to any single mobile phone company. Thus the mobile phones can vary widely in terms of features and hardware specifications. This would be appealing to many developers because they can design apps and games keeping in mind particular hardware and other specifications of the particular devices.
