Android (Kotlin & Java) development

Native Android apps in Kotlin and Java

Where it all started: native Android apps for CRMs, utilities and communities, plus open-source libraries used by developers worldwide.

What is Android (Kotlin & Java) used for, and how do we use it?

Native Android development uses Kotlin or Java with Android's own SDKs, giving full access to device hardware, background processing and platform features. ImliStack builds native Android apps with MVVM, Hilt dependency injection, Coroutines, Jetpack libraries and Jetpack Compose, and publishes them on Google Play.

FAQ

Android (Kotlin & Java): common questions

Kotlin or Java for a new Android app?

Kotlin for new work — it is Google's recommended language. We maintain and modernise Java codebases too, often migrating to Kotlin gradually.

Native Android or Flutter?

Native when the app depends heavily on device hardware or background processing; Flutter when you need Android and iOS from one team. See our mobile app development page for detail.

Can we hire a dedicated Android (Kotlin) developer?

Yes. ImliStack provides dedicated Android (Kotlin) developers from its senior team on a monthly engagement, working in your tools and time-zone overlap, with founder-level technical oversight. Capacity and terms are confirmed in a written proposal.
