"As apps’ visibility becomes more and more difficult, app developers are working hard to make their apps stand out among thousands of new apps appearing every day. There is a big variety of articles out there on how to increase an app’s discoverability through ASO techniques, marketing campaigns and others. What is most important, though? Spend on ad marketing campaigns? Creating press releases, or dive into Google Play mechanisms to understand and position better an app on store? Anyone could argue that app developers should be doing all of that anyway…this is so true, but where should be their main focus?"

You may spend some money, if you have enough.
ASO is very important but you don't need too much time for writing text and improving it sometimes.
What you have to work hard with is your audience beyond Google Play. Demonstrate the app anywhere you can. Use social networks, SMM. People should notice you.
Well, that's what I think

I haven't been on this forum too long or posted that much, but I have certainly come to respect it and all the people here. Very classy group of folks.
However, I'm switching my attention to iOS. Why? Good question. I'm unemployed and really need to get a job. My 13 year career at a university was limited to mostly COBOL mainframe work and PeopleSoft SQR. As such, I pretty much shoe-horned myself into a limited skill set; and there just aren't jobs out there for me. Trust me, I've been looking for a year and really don't want to relocate just yet.
I'm taking a gamble, but I have seen a few job postings for mobile developers and they seem to be leaning towards iPhone/iPad. So that's the direction I'm heading.
Now, I won't lose my skills as a Android developer and I won't abandon my Android development, but I'll probably devote 85% to iOS and 15% to Android.
Thanks to all here that have helped me and thanks to all for a great forum. I'll be watching you guys and check-in every so often. It's been fun

GrilledUI is a library to implement common UIs easily. Available UI types are: tabbed UI (TabActivity), master/metail flow (SectionActivity) and their hybrid (HybridActivity). These activity classes wrap everything you need to create your UI with just a few lines of code or even load tabs/sections and instaniate fragments from XML file. HybridActivity allows you to have tabs on phones and MDF on tablets. This way you can easily make your app tablet and phone friendly without torturing phone users with multiple activities.
Library comes with JavaDocs, multiple examples, in open source form, 2-clause BSD license and pre-ICS support (!). Pre-ICS devices are supported with the help of ActionBarSherlock.
GrilledUI lives on GitHub.
A small preview of what is possible:

What do you mean by keep app in memory?

Just to keep it brief and simple. Need an estimate on how much this app can generate in revenues:
Niche: Medical/Medicine/Health
Users: Afghanistan/Pakistan Doctors/Pharmacists/Students (Asia)
Total Downloads: ~50,000
New Users/Day: ~500
Active users per 30 days: ~30,000

If you require more information please let me know. Plus I am yet to decide on the ad-network and a lot of other things so kindly point me in the right direction. CPC or CPM, adMob or something else?
Thanks a million <3
If you put a banner ad on each screen in your app you would get 1,911,134 impressions per month
In AdMob eCPM for banner ad in Pakistan would be around 0,2$
So you can expect to earn ~$382 per month
You can never know until you try.
I have an app with 250k impressions a day and it makes only 15$ with admob a day.
And the interstitials make even less for me.
And there is another app with 20k impressions a day that makes around 30 a day.
So you never know until you try, also try facebook native ads they are very good.
Use Your Old Phone For Scientific Research
I ran across this interesting project that allows you to donate the processing speed of your old Android device to help with scientific research. This means that you're officially a scientist and your friends should call you "Doctor".
All you have to do is install an app called BIONIC and you'll be able get started supporting the research of your choice.

It’s often said that first impressions are the most important, so make each one count.
Such is indeed the impression Jia Yueting inevitably left in his first international television interview.

Mr. Yueting, the 43-year old CEO of China’s LeEco conglomerate, was recently interviewed by CNBC
during this past weekend’s China Entrepreneur Club event, and had a number of bold statements to offer,
including some very critical ones pertaining to Apple.
Mr. Yueting called the house that Steve Jobs built “outdated”
and cited such a belief as the reason Cupertino is losing momentum in China:
One of the most important reasons [for slowing sales]
is that Apple’s innovation has become extremely slow.
For example, a month ago Apple launched the iPhone SE.
From an industry insider’s perspective, this is a product with a very low level of technology…
We think this is something they just shouldn’t have done.
