Keeping The App Responsive and Informing About
Necessary Wait

• h

• While developing Apps, responsive web design can
  serve the best solution for the problems faced.
  It deals with the compatibility over different
  browsers and platforms. It is often that devices
  hang and become unresponsive to any input, link
  or click, not accepting any orders , which might
  last for approximately 5 seconds. This
  inconvenience can be overcome by creating a
  separate worker thread running in the background.
  A more detailed control could be effective. A
  message dialogue or progress bar could appear
  notifying the users for the same. Thus, there
  comes a need to evaluate the Apps' responsiveness.

  hardware devices. There has been a definite need
  of testing the app no matter how well the
  emulator is configured to match up with hardware
  specifications. It gives a clear and a practical
  picture of how the app really looks and performs.
  For Android based devices , testing is crucial
  since there are many combinations of platform API
  versions and hardware configurations. Over time,
  it has become less challenging since the devices
  have adopted latest APIs and providing system
  updates frequently.
