From Idea to Google Play in 5 Steps
No Android Studio. No Gradle builds. No SDK configuration. Adalo handles the technical heavy lifting while you build your vision.
Build with No-Code
Drag and drop pre-built components onto Adalo's spatial canvas to assemble your app. Lists, forms, buttons, navigation, maps — everything you need is ready to use.
Design the Way You Think
Customize every visual detail to match your brand. Fonts, colors, spacing, icons, and images are all fully configurable with no design constraints.
Store Your Data
Use Adalo's built-in database to define collections and relationships, or connect to external APIs. Your data stays in sync across every screen and every device.
Test on Your Device
Install your app directly on an Android phone or tablet to test the real user experience. Share it with your team, collect feedback, and iterate before going public.
Publish to Google Play
Adalo compiles a native Android App Bundle (AAB) and walks you through the Google Play submission process. Your app is listed alongside professionally developed Android apps.
Why Build an Android App?
Android powers over 70% of smartphones worldwide. If you want to reach the broadest possible audience, Android is essential.
Global Reach
Android holds 70.29% of the global mobile market. In many regions — South America, Africa, Asia — Android is the default platform. Reach billions of potential users.
Device Diversity
From $100 phones to premium flagships, Android runs on thousands of device models. Your app adapts to every screen size and price point.
Faster Review Process
Google Play's review process is typically faster than the App Store, meaning your updates reach users sooner. Most apps are reviewed within hours.
Push Notifications
Native Android push notifications keep your users engaged with real-time updates, reminders, and personalized messages — even when the app is closed.
Lower Barrier to Entry
A Google Play Developer account is a one-time $25 fee (vs. Apple's $99/year). Combined with Adalo's no-code builder, the cost to launch is remarkably low.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to publish an Android app?
Google charges a one-time fee of $25 for a Google Play Developer account. There are no annual renewals. Adalo's publishing feature is included in paid plans at no additional cost.
Should I build for Android or iOS?
With Adalo, you do not have to choose. The same app you build works on both platforms. Design once and publish to the App Store, Google Play, and the web — all from a single project.
What is the difference between APK and AAB?
APK (Android Package Kit) was the original format for Android apps. Google now requires the AAB (Android App Bundle) format for new submissions to Google Play. AAB allows Google Play to optimize the download size for each device. Adalo compiles your app as an AAB automatically — you do not need to worry about the format.
