Abstract

As a result of the continuous progress and fast-growing popularity of mobile technologies in recent years, the demand for mobile applications has increased rapidly. One of the most important decisions that its developers have to make is the choice of technology on which their application will be based. This article is devoted to the comparison of Java, Flutter, and Kotlin/Native technologies for applications based on processing and analyzing data from sensors. The main elements of the comparison are the efficiency and resource utilization of mobile applications for Android OS implemented in each of the aforementioned technologies.

Keywords: mobile applications; mobile frameworks; performance measures; programming language selection.
