What is Mobile Application?

Mobile application is the software that is developed for handheld devices like mobile phones, PDAs, tablet devices, etc. The mobile phones are pre-installed by the manufacturer and mostly available as web applications using client or servers side processing to give an application like experience in the web browser. Application development have some limitations like the different screen sizes, hardware specifications and different mobile platforms. The mobile application development industry witnesses a steady growth in terms of revenue as well as job creation.
In the development process, the mobile device’s user interface design plays a vital role which considers the constraints and contexts, screen, input and mobility for designing. The user interface entails the components of both software and hardware of the device. User input manipulates the system and the device output indicates the manipulation effects of user inputs. The mobile UI receives signal from the user activity like location, browsing history, etc. that would be shown from the user interactions within the mobile application. The UI of the application should consider the user’s limited attention, minimizing the screen usage and minimum set of functions. This function are supported by the mobile application platforms and IDEs (Integrated Development environments).
Mobile user interface rely on the support access to the enterprise systems. The back end support take care of data routing, security, authorization. Offline access and service support. These are supported by aspects like mobile app servers, Mobile Back-end as a service and SOA infrastructure. A lot of preliminary considerations to be made before proceeding to develop an application for mobile devices
