New version of Android SDK: faster, cleaner, more powerful

Are you already collecting feedback in your mobile Android app(s) or do you want to start with it? Our latest Android SDK makes it a breeze. With this new version of our native Kotlin Android SDK, a ton of improvements have been added.

Sure, a lot of the magic happens under the hood, so it might not be immediately obvious to everyone – but trust us, your developers are going to notice.

What is Kotlin?

If you’re not too familiar yet with Kotlin, we’re here to get you up to speed. Kotlin is a modern programming language that’s officially supported by Google for Android development. It’s loved by developers because it’s easy to read, helps prevent bugs, and works perfectly with older Java code.

Having your feedback solution installed by a native Kotlin SDK (Software Development Kit) is a big deal because it fits right into the tools and workflows your developers already use. This makes it easier and faster to set up, so you and your team can focus on collecting feedback and improving your apps without any extra hassle.

Why this update matters

At the end of the day, your team shouldn’t have to struggle with software; it should empower your developers to do their best work. This update isn’t just about making their and your life easier today; it’s about laying the groundwork for all the cool things we (and you!) will build tomorrow.

Simpler, Faster, Better

First things first: we’ve streamlined the implementation process. Gone are the days of excessive boilerplate code, meaning way less coding to achieve the same results.

Initialising the SDK is now as simple as a few lines of code, because nobody likes spending time on repetitive, tedious tasks.

The API is also simplified to make it more intuitive. The result? Your team spends less time scratching their heads and has more time to build awesome features for your mobile app users.

Clean Architecture, Cleaner Code

We’ve fully embraced Android’s best practices by adopting the Modular Clean Architecture. Sounds fancy, right? But here’s what it means for you:

• Fewer bugs – Cleaner code = fewer surprises popping up during development.
• Faster development – When the foundation is solid, your team can move quicker, whether it’s fixing issues or adding new features.
• Future-proof – The new structure gives us room to innovate. Think faster updates, smoother integrations, and exciting new possibilities for you down the road.

Oh, and did we mention performance? The new setup allows the SDK to run smoother and more reliable than ever. Stability is at an all-time high, so your users will have a seamless experience. And to top it off; because of the new modular setup where only the modules are used that are needed, the SDK is also more compact, resulting in a smaller size of your app.

Manuel Crovetto, Android Developer at Mopinion states:

“There’s nothing more rewarding for a software developer than knowing that the time and effort invested in creating a reusable and concise component is paying off. That is exactly what this modularisation does, allowing us to easily integrate reusable code to our projects.

So, whether you’re upgrading from an older version or diving in for the first time, this is the SDK your Android app deserves. Go ahead, let your mobile developers give it a spin, so you can collect mobile feedback in the most optimal way.
