Free Alternative Android Development Kit From Corona For Developers

LONDON - April 15, 2013 - PRLog -- Google’s software development kit is standard kit for android developers to develop apps and software for android devices together with XML and Java. Android SDK is available at no cost but one should have proficient knowledge and experience in Java and XML user interface design to use modules of this toolkit. However, there are alternative to this toolkit like Corona, Phone Gap and Titanium Appcelerator that makes development task easier for developers. Corona subscription was previously available with a fixed yearly cost but last week Corona Labs announced for free availability of this android SDK. The toolkit is much easier and flexible to use. Free availability of the tool can be enjoyed only by individual developers or mobile developers who are earning less that $100,000 per year.

Corona uses LUA programming language as Google’s android SDK use Java. LUA is an open source language and much easier to understand and learn for anyone. Little experience and knowledge in C language can help much to understand the complexity of LUA. It is available at lots of places like VLC media player and World of Warcraft.  http://www.rootinfosol.co.uk/technology/hire-an-android-d...

Corona is basically designed to develop games. Everything can be handled easily as an openGL object. It also supports variable gravity, collisions and joints with the help of built-in 2D physics engine. Developers can easily handle the games for facebook, cryptography, sqlite3 and networking. Corona labs also introduce an app earlier this year that allows apps to support specific functions like user account, achievements, leader boards, chat, push notifications and turn based multilayer. All these things can be handled in Corona cloud. Like Corona SDK, free tier is also available in Corona cloud.

Android developers who are looking for some flexible software development toolkit to write gaming codes for android device can complete their task with new aspirants of Corona SDK. Developers who do not have expert experience in Java and XML should head over to Corona toolkit.

Full API documentation and tutorial is available online. The games can be developed for any android device.
