TL;DR

  • TinyML has the potential to run powerful learning models based on artificial neural networks;
  • TinyML devices are set to reach 2.5 billion by 2030;
  • TinyML is the best technology for performing on-device data analytics for vision, audio, and motion

, Technology has surpassed imagination and has come with fast-paced and wide-ranging value additions to our lives. The advent of technology has led us towards connected devices holding the ability to communicate and interact with each other and can transform premises of all types across industries.

Any guesses which technology is being discussed here?

Yes, you shot the right arrow, it is IoT. As we all know the very concept of IoT provides an ecosystem of connected devices. And indeed, it is the most significant era-defining technology in the current spectrum.

Today, IoT apps have expanded their reach not only for the daily tasks but also for the complex tasks involved in industrial production.

However, there is always a fear of excessive costs associated with the optimization of these apps. But what if I will tell you that you can optimize them while triggering the growth of your business, without draining you off financially?

You would not believe me? Right???

Well, hold your breath, because this is very much possible! And it is all due to TinyML.

TinyML; does it sound unusual to you???

Then I insist you read this post to unleash the facts further…

What is TinyML?

As the name suggests TinyML- Tiny machine learning is a miniature version of ML algorithms, that can be embedded within the IoT device. They perform the same ways the usual ML algorithms and help in making IoT apps energy efficient while improving data privacy and security.

VOILA!!!

That is amazing! Yes, it is, and there are many other benefits associated with it, that expedite the speed of IoT solution without making you lose millions on it.

Advantages that come along with TinyML

It is very likely in the coming years; our world will gradually turn into a nexus of devices. Hence implementing the IoT apps in our business models, is not a choice but vocal out the hour of the need. Currently, there are 250 billion microcontrollers in the world today and this number is growing by 30 billion annually.

Surprised???

It is the fact, and it is all possible because TinyML model consists of smallest architecture, that can fit into almost any environment.

Here, including TinyML within the IoT apps would benefit in certain ways, which are briefed out further in this post:

Energy efficiency gets enhanced

Machine Learning involves a complex ecosystem, which leaves behind the carbon footprint of AI technology. This further leads to a compromise in the accuracy and reliability of data. With the integration of TinyML, the algorithms used result in a decreased number of carbon footprint to a large extent. And worth to mention but it doesn’t let the algorithm’s reliability to get compromised at any given cost.

Provides relevant data 

Data is one of the most vital assets for a business, but not every data collected is relevant. Henceforth, there needs to be a system that only picks the required and pertinent data, and this demand is well addressed by the TinyML. It can be programmed to collect data that fits the requirements set by the programmer.

 Offers an additional layer of data privacy and security

IoT devices collect relevant data, which is sent further to servers located in the cloud, where it gets processed as per the business needs. In this journey, there are multiple places where data can be compromised and bring security issues. Here TinyML brings that additional layer of security and lets the security feature remains intact with every data processing. 

Data sharing time gets reduced

Within an IoT device, one of the biggest concerns is to manage the time lag of sending and receiving the data. The TinyML creates an algorithm, which further removes the dependency of the device on the network speed, leading to a reduced time frame of sharing data to and for.

The Challenges

Yeah, you heard it right, there are a few challenges of integrating TinyML in the IoT devices. Some of them are mentioned herewith:

  • Technical challenges exist to conquer the computing mechanism
  • There lies a difference between deployment and execution within web-based and embedded technologies

In a nutshell

This was a synopsis of highly engaging futuristic technology-TinyML, that is gaining a strong foothold on the ground but is still in a very nascent stage. There are certain improvements to be made to help it support the complex machine learning models further.

However, with the advent of technology, it is expected that very soon, we shall begin to witness the mainstream adoption of TinyML within different industries.

On the other hand, if you are yet to get a shot of IoT apps on your business, then you must not delay it anymore.

Get in touch with us to include this avant-garde technology in your business model.

It is a blessing to have Android within our pockets for over the last decade!

All credit falls in the lap of Android’s open platform, that has created a community of mobile users who can access different services and products with Android.

Over a period of time, Android has grown and expanded beyond phones to tablets, cars, watches, TVs and today holds more than 2.5 billion active devices globally.

SURPRISED???

Yes, it is the surprising stat but surely speak the true essence of every user and the specific preference. Google has always ensured to bring convenience and exclusive experience for its users, and in this run, the launch of Android 10 has already created a STIR!..

Android Q is Android 10

No, it is not the DIFFERENT name, but the very functionalities of the Android 10 which are making developers and users share the mixed reaction.

And the MILLION-DOLLAR question has come into existence: Android 9 vs Android 10; which one is best to pick?

OOPS! That’s a question putting everyone on fire these days and has turned out to be a MOOT point for many out there.

Although the Android 10 features are loaded with great User-experience, but when it comes to making a comparison, then there are various factors which must be paid attention to. So let’s take a quick look at what all both the OSs contain within their model, with this post… 

OS Name

  • Android 9 – Pie
  • Android 10- Android Q

UI/UX Design

Android 9

The UI and navigation, with Gesture feature, is probably the most well-known and widely discussed aspect of Android 9. To be précised, the color scheme is the place to mention Google’s primary goals for the future of Material design.

Android 10

It has followed up the Android 9’s gesture-based navigation, now Android 10 features a fully gesture-based method of navigation. Also, Android 10 allows the Android Pie’s two-button system and the traditional three-button array.

Theme

Android 9

Android 9.0 Pie added an option to toggle the dark and light quick settings themes, instead of leaving it up to the wallpaper’s color palette like Android 8.0 Oreo. The theming tint is set to the same wallpaper detection-based automatic mode as the previous version of Android. 

Android 10

Android 10, is giving users even more ways to tinker with the look of their device. Now there’s a new Theming section where phone’s accent color can be changed and it has the iconic Pixel blue.

Messaging and Emojis

Android 9

Android 9.0 was introduced with 157 new smile emojis, which could really change the user-experience of the users. For instance: Google’s four new hairstyle emoji, The Turtle emoji and even the comic book characters.

Android 10

Android Q is loaded with emojis of professions, and a new selection of foods and animals. Also, the transmutation in emojis has made them appear more gender-neutral.

Battery Consumption

Android 9

Android Pie, most users have either seen a slight improvement in battery life or reported no perceivable difference with the ‘Adaptive Battery’ and ‘Automatic Brightness Adjust’ functionality.

Android 10

The dark mode theme has got an upgraded adaptive battery setting, and now Android 10’s battery life is longer than Android 9.

Privacy & Security

Android 9

The Android 9 Pie can be described as more secure than is predecessors since it was filled with several anti-exploitation techniques and a hardened platform. Also, the upgraded File-Based Encryption system to provide support for external storage media really changed the game.

Android 10

Be ready to notice the dedicated Privacy section in the Android Q. Once you open, it reveals the various permissions for things like calendar, location, camera, contacts and many more.

Earlier users never got the clear idea of what data, apps get access on the device, however with this new section it becomes easier to discover and revoke permissions for specific apps.

Sharing & Connectivity Option

Android 9

With Android 9 users can pair “up to five Bluetooth devices and switch between these devices seamlessly. Also, it routes to any Bluetooth speaker or paired audio accessory that’s capable of handling calls.

Android 10

Now Android 10 has replaced Android Beam with Fast Share and now this feature includes the fusion of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct to create a connection and transfer files faster than its predecessors.

Notifications

Android 9

The mechanism of Android 9 notices the routinely swipe away an app’s notifications without ever tapping into them, the system will show a prompt asking if a user is willing to shut off notifications for that particular app instead of swiping over and over again.

Android 10

The very spectrum of app notifications has turned quirky and is in the form of bubble chat heads. Users may find the circular notification floating across the screen, so users wouldn’t get disturbed by the notifications. Also, users have the option to set notifications to Silent or on Alerting mode, as per their needs.

Wi-Fi Option

Android 9

In Android 9 Pie, a new setting automatically turns off the hot spot back off when Android detects that no devices remain connected. This measure is toggled on by default.

Android 10

We agree that sharing a Wi-Fi network password with friends or asking for theirs can be a little awkward. With Android 10 there is a new feature which lets users to create a QR code for their Wi-Fi network or scan a QR code to join a Wi-Fi network, directly in the device’s Wi-Fi settings.

Digital WellBeing

Android 9

Digital Wellbeing is designed to help Android users monitor their phone and app usage. With this feature, the user can also activate Wind Down – a feature which is a combination of grayscale and Do Not Disturb to manage the notifications.

Android 10

In the Android 10, the Digital Wellbeing feature is Focus Mode, letting users select distracting apps on their phone and temporarily shut those apps off.

Well, well, well, this post really does spin the wheel of excitement and curiosity for you and am assured it lets you relish the best features & functionalities forever.

We’ll ensure to bring the best of information from the technological space and keep you posted, so just keep a check on Techugo’s social channels & blog page, which is filled with every latest news and technology information in abundance.

In the growing space of technologies, the arrival of react native has blown up the mind of developers and has boosted up the native app development.  Altogether, it has changed the entire picture of native app development. It’s unflagging ability to create seamless and steady native app experience has made it every developer’s desire. Many developers are striving to learn and implement this technology for creating distinct and unusual applications.

It is true that React Native is a wonderful app development framework that has made the iOS and Android app. simple by enabling a constant development in single language i.e javascript. This technology allows cross-platform app development. Surely, for creating both iOS and Android apps. There is no other better option, as the development process accounts less cost and time consumption.

If you are seeking app development with this technology, indeed this is worth making an investment. Today, various renowned brands are creating applications through this technology. The well-known apps created through it, are Instagram, Airbnb, UberEats, Skype, Walmart and more.

But wait for a second!

Do you wanna try it for creating your business app?

If you have already decided to carry out your app development with React native, I have some advice that you must consider before heading forward.

So, Take a look.

  1. Set the purpose for react native application

If you are overwhelmed with the idea of creating react native app, due to the popularity and admiration of the technology. DON’T DO THIS!!

Indeed, it promises to offer perfect application, but it doesn’t mean that it is a right fit for every app and you must go along with it. Don’t perceive other’s declaration and thrust into the development.

You need to understand that there are too many technologies available in the market. but! if your pick doesn’t accomplish the purpose you are endeavoring, then there is no use of the technology.  Setting the purpose forth is the key. Remember, if you are determined to create just a cross-platform app, then it can be achieved simply through WebView.

And you can publish the application on both iOS and Android platform. Though, these applications cannot offer great performance and stunning user experience. Altogether, they are not able to perform tasks that infuse complex activities.

React native also falls somewhere in this space. Though, it is fast and enables the use of underlying components that are barely accessible by other types of application.

2.  Opt for effective navigation librar
y

Navigation component in react native hasn’t replaced yet, and developers have to rely on community solutions. Understand! picking the right navigation library as per your need can be a stronger foundation for your project. So FOCUS ON choosing right and effective library before embarking on development.

In React Native, there are two types of navigation libraries, named as Native navigators and JavaScript navigators. where native navigators are designed by focusing on performance. but JavaScript navigator are made to make navigation setup easier. Similarly they work. So better to choose wisely while keeping your NEED in mind, as there is no dearth of othe external options.

    3. Design Styling in React Native

Style is an essential component of app UX design, and styling is quite challenging with React. Actually, this technology doesn’t have cascade. And many properties drop their buckets when it comes about offering support and broader inheritance.

But! Don’t take it too much serious as you already know that every system has some glitches. The important point is that you have access to various alternatives to accomplish various tasks. that you want your app to perform.

Each element in this technology is flex ‘by default’. Don’t worry! due to this you will not face any problem in styling, as you keep the component size small, both styles and user interface fixes on the single page.

 4. Utilize CSS-in-js wrapper library

It is true, the react native CCS is the only way for designing, and that CSS is also written in JavaScript. Indeed, it is limiting you to design more innovatively. Hey! don’t sleep on it, as you can write your code in CSS. To do this,  import ‘styled component library’ instead of using “StyleSheet.create” method.

This method improves the accountability of CSS experience to react native very much, which makes  ‘JSX’ look more interactive.

5. Check for Need While Using Expo-Kit

There are developers who consider using Expo-kit a solution to every problem, but they are wrong. If you have this notion then SHAKE IT OFF, because  it doesn’t matter it is free and best open source toolkit for React, it brings some limitation for the project. You must know that there is no support for third-party packages in react native for the plugins with custom native module, if you are using it you will have to remove Expo-kit afterward.

Therefore, it is wise to use Expo-kit when you need a quick pick for creating app with react native technology. Altogether, you can go along with it only if it can encrust all the requirement for the development. That’s why it is better to check for need while using this package.

6. Keep a check on animation

Animation has become a center of attraction, thus app designers are trying to sync the design with it. If you are also overwhelmed with this idea then just rethink, as this technology is still under enhancement process, and animation part needs to be evolved to offer enhanced performance.

Hey! It doesn’t mean that you need to skip the idea of infusing animation, but it is very important to keep a check on the animation by testing it on the device. The react emulators are not able to offer proper feedback and you can end up with an ineffective UX design.  Altogether, keep useNativeDriver = true for ensuring better performance.

    7. Scale your app across different screen and devices

You must know that your app will be targeting different devices and screen sizes. It is essential that it must run on different devices perfectly. It is true that there is no possibility for creating different UX/UI design for different screen sizes, so pick small screen sizes, therefore UX/UI can be run throughout all screen sizes. Dimension API and third party package such as React Native Responsive UI can also be helpful for identifying screens.

Now, you would have understood what points you need to keep in mind while creating react native app. To know more get assistance of react native development company.

Getting started with any framework is always a difficult task. But as a developer, you need to become an expert in development ionic frameworks.

So, lots of mobile application development frameworks are available and every framework is good. But if you want to develop an app for both the iOS and Android platform. Then you have to choose the Ionic framework. Even if you are already using any other mobile application development framework. Then also it is easy for you to work on Ionic.

Now, let’s take a closer look at Ionic.

What is Ionic?

Ionic is the HTML5 cross-platform mobile application development framework, it allows developers to use the third party code and enhances the development process. With this framework, you can handle all the looks and feels of the UI interactions. It gives you the feel of “Bootstrap for Native” but with the support and wide range of common native mobile components, slick animations, and beautiful designs. Allow you to do the experiments with design.

Where does Ionic fit?

Ionic comes with native styled mobile UI elements and layouts that you only get with a native SDK on iOS or Android. It also gives you some better options and powerful ways to build mobile applications.

Since it is an HTML5 framework, it needs a native wrapper like Cordova or PhoneGap in order to run as a native app. The developer’s team of the Ionic recommends using Cordova for developing the apps with Ionic tools.

Why did they build Ionic?

The developers of Ionic wanted to use the power of HTML5 over mobile applications or we can say that they just wanted to develop the HTML5 framework. They focused on developing the native or cross-platform mobile application instead of mobile websites. So, the Ionic apps are built for the browser shell like iOS UIWebView or Android WebView. It is wrapped by the tools like Cordova or PhoneGap.

Building the cross-platform application with Ionic

The developers who are familiar with web development will grasp the concept of Ionic very easily. If you understand its core then you will find out that it is just a web page running in a native app shell. It means you can use any kind of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript you want. The only difference is you are not creating a website that other links will too, you are creating a self-contained application experience.

Most of the ionic apps are written in HTML, JavaScript, and CSS programming languages. If any developer wants to use the native layer with the custom Cordova plugins or native code, they can. But it is not necessary to get a great app. It allows you to use lots of AngularJS core functionalities of the framework.

Now, here we are going to discuss why you need to adopt the Ionic framework for application development.

One code for all platform

It is the framework to develop the cross-platform apps for iOS and Android platforms. To develop the app for the multiple platforms you only need to learn one programming language JavaScript. If you are using this framework then it is easy for your developers to understand your project. Also you do not need to hire the multiple developers for developing the application on multiple languages.

The major advantage is that most of the developers are familiar with JavaScript compared to Java and Swift. which gives you an extra advantage.

Low entrance barrier

As every developer knows that they can see the results pretty fast in JavaScript and as we all know the Ionic allows to use the Angular functionalities whenever you need. That means it takes only a few minutes to start for the first time.

You also don’t need any special interface builder or IDE. For creating the first elements, views, and native elements can be done easily even for beginners through HTML. After installing the Ionic, you can start a new project on the Ionic starter templates and directly preview your app inside your browser. The most interesting thing that it hardly takes five minutes to do all this.

Beautiful user interface components

The UI of the Ionic apps are amazing, no other framework has the capability to provide this type of UI. Actually, Ionic comes with predefined styling for different components. So all the elements give the look and feel like a native elements.

Look like native across the different platform means on Android elements gets the material designs touch and on iOS gets the current iOS look. You don’t need to do anything all this comes automatically, right out of the box.

Whenever you use the components of Ionic, you will notice that they automatically look great. Functionalities like this help developers to build the good looking prototype a lot faster and you can simply rely on their styling.

Native plugins

If you are new to the cross-platform application development then you must have one very genuine question. how do I get access to the device features with JavaScript?

So, the answer to your question is Cardova, it is built right into the Ionic and packages. Your app into a webview and builds the native project once you start a certain command. With the help of the Cordova bridge, you can easily use the native device features such as camera, email client, and almost everything.

Ionic also offers a simple package called Ionic Native to simplify the process. This package consists of Cordova Plugins into a more friendly Angular way so you can use them easily.

Powerful but simple CLI

iconic comes with the very handy command line interface which you can use whenever you want to create a new project. You just need to compile your project to native project and do anything inside your project, its CLI will support you.

You don’t need to create new files and folders, CLI will handle this part and automatically follow the right architecture. If you want to preview your app. Then just start a live reload server with preview, showing you even styling for different platforms right inside your browser.

Now you know why you need an Ionic framework for developing the mobile application. Now the second thing you need to find out is the experts in utilizing this framework and for this, you have to reach Techugo.

Why Exploring The App Challenges Is A Learning Phase For An App Developer https://www.techugo.com/blog/exploring-app-challenges-learning-phase-app-developer/ https://www.techugo.com/blog/exploring-app-challenges-learning-phase-app-developer/#respond Wed, 03 Jan 2018 13:55:21 +0000 https://www.techugo.com/blog/?p=2730

If one word which can describe my attitude towards work then ‘Inquisitive’ is something which does the full justice to it. I am highly curious about learning and exploring the new dimensions in life and make sure not to leave any stone unturned to achieve further.

Oops, this description fits the exact bill of an app developer, who is always expected to be nerdy and too much into their codings, and I too am an Android Developer with Techugo, but something which sets me apart from other developers is my priceless trait and that is visualization.

My visualization power is something which is very strong and powerful and always helps to land me in a new world of possibilities and opportunities. With this personality trait I have discovered many new horizons of success parameters within the app development and in one of the recent successful app projects I have accomplished is Bono.

Before I will proceed further with my learning and challenges, I would like to mention herewith that my visualization and curiosity have been the main force which kept me evolving and have helped me to turn into a something better version of an Android developer today.

Ok, let’s explore what is Bono?

No don’t take it wrong I am not referring to the top and the leading singer Bono from U2 band, but this BONO is the name of the app, which is developed based on the peer to peer ride sharing platform that allows people, who share a collective vision of saving the environment, to travel together. It is a location-based mobile app that facilitates sharing by resolving the fundamental issues of security and privacy.

In addition, it offers value to its user that goes beyond the obvious economic benefit: It enables users to understand the quantum of their overall contribution to the environment if they shift from “exclusivity” to “sharing”.

The moment I got this project, my instinct hinted at something most challenging to come my way with this app, so as the way I am I started counting for the minutes when actually the challenge would knock on my door, and I would resolve it with my intellect and visualization, well the day finally came and…?

Why don’t you just read yourself…J

Tale of Challenges

Bono deals with the ride-sharing app concept and which means there would be multiple routes and that’s where my very first challenge erupted; the major challenge I faced was to calculate and determine the multiple routes for a single destination from one source location. Might sound nothing tough to you, but believe me it made me invest endless hours in finding the perfect solution.

The very next challenge which fell on my lap was the information.

Yes, you heard me right it was all about to inform the app users about the driver’s near-by location, so the multiple passengers can be picked from their pick-up on the same route.

And the last challenge which I faced was the implementation of “PAYTM” payment gateway, the reason it turned out to be a challenge because it was highly unstable at the development end.

But to match my instinct, trait, and personality I overcame these challenges effortlessly and learned a huge deal about new methods and skills to give a push to my exploring capabilities. So the excerpt of what I learned is:

The multiple routes option which I got as a major challenge eventually opened a new door of learning for me, wherein to tackle the issue I researched over multiple Google APIs and it worked finally for me, not just for sorting the multiple routes issue, but also to calculate the distance between the passenger and driver’s location as well.

Another challenge I had faced of unstable PayTM and even after several failed attempts of integration, I finally got on a call with a technical expert from payTM team and fixed the every existing issue and bug with the PayTM integration.

Albeit, this is just a glimpse of my learning with Bono app, and there is much more as an app developer I learned and explored with Bono, and I find Bono to be quite useful for any fresher to acquire a set of information and exposure in developing a taxi or ride-sharing application.

Unlike the usual taxi applications, Bono has only a single module for rider and driver and allows the users to find a ride and share a ride option within a single app. The app is a great medium when it comes earn money and if anyone has the vehicle whether two-wheeler or four-wheeler and can be a driver or rider.

Apart from this blog, something which always disturbs the app developer work rhythm is the lack of motivation and source of creativity. I too juggled with this issue in my naivety, but sooner I joined Techugo as a core fresher, with a bag full of aspirations and luckily the company gave me enough reasons to explore my talent and polish my skills.

And I believe innovation, creativity ad tech-filled are some of the attributes associated with the developers and I think every developer in order to achieve new heights needs to be in constant cycle of change, so don’t sit on the issue and always keep looking for the ways and options to give a meaning to your technical aspirations.

Before winding up, I would really appreciate, if you all can stop by and take a look at my creative notion spilled in the app…link is ahead herewith, please download and appreciate my work maximum.
