Core App Quality Guidelines

App quality directly influences the long-term success of your app—in terms of installs, user rating and reviews, engagement, and user retention. Android users expect high-quality apps, even more so if they've spent money on them.
This document helps you assess basic aspects of quality in your app through a compact set of core app quality criteria and associated tests. All Android apps should meet these criteria.
Before publishing your app, make sure to test it against these criteria to ensure that it functions well on many devices, meets Android standards for navigation and design, and is prepared for promotional opportunities in the Google Play Store. Your testing will go well beyond what's described here—the purpose of this document is to specify the essential characteristics of basic quality so that you can include them in your test plans.
If your app is targeting tablet devices, make sure that it delivers a rich, compelling experience to your tablet customers. See the Tablet App Quality Checklist for recommendations on ways to optimize your app for tablets.

Improving Layout Performance

By
Improving Layout Performance Layouts are a key part of Android applications that directly affect the user experience. If implemented poorly, your layout can lead to a memory hungry application with slow UIs. The Android SDK includes tools to help you identify problems in your layout performance, which when combined the lessons here, you will be able to implement smooth scrolling interfaces with a minimum memory footprint. Lessons Optimizing Layout Hierarchies In the same way a complex web page can slow down load time, your layout hierarchy if too complex can also cause performance problems. This lesson shows how you can use SDK tools to inspect your layout and discover performance bottlenecks. Re-using Layouts with <include/> If your application UI repeats certain layout constructs in multiple places, this lesson shows you how to create efficient, re-usable layout constructs, then include them in the appropriate UI layouts.
