Android app templates have been gaining in popularity over the past few years, and that’s no wonder. They’re a huge time saver for experienced developers, helping them to cut through the slog of creating an app from scratch and focus their talents instead on the unique and customised parts of creating a new app.
App templates are also an indispensable learning tool for novice developers who want to improve their coding skills by studying the building blocks of an app while building their own.
We’ve combed through the thousands of Android app templates available at CodeCanyon to find the 15 best available.
The templates we’ve chosen reflect the most popular Android app categories. Almost all are made with Android Studio, use Google Material Design, support AdMob, give users the option of removing banners and interstitial ads, and come with step-by-step instructions and/or video tutorials on how to configure the templates from scratch.
1. Universal Android App
Hands down one of the best and most popular Android app templates is Universal Android App. This awesome app lets users create just about any app they want by pulling in unlimited content from blogs, timelines, feeds, channels, playlists, webpages, etc., and easily combining them into one customisable app.
