A mobile-first lifestyle has become a core necessity in today’s society and continues to grow each year. This trend is evident in the rapid increase in smartphone usage, especially Android devices. According to Kompas, the number of mobile phone users worldwide surpassed 5 billion in September 2021. As a result, Android applications have become an essential tool for businesses. Business owners are now expected to have Android apps to reach a broader and more competitive market.
Despite this demand, building an online Android application often requires a significant budget. Costs typically include servers, technical staff, and ongoing development expenses. These high costs frequently discourage business owners from expanding into the mobile industry. Learning how to create an APK independently can cost tens to hundreds of millions of rupiah. This is unfortunate, as an Android-based online store app has strong potential to attract customers and increase sales.
Jagel.id was created to help business owners grow their businesses more easily in the digital space. Through Jagel.id, users can build their own Android applications at an affordable price. The platform supports various app types, including online stores, ride-hailing services, company profiles, portfolios, online catalogs, and other e-commerce solutions. Once completed, these applications can be uploaded to the Google Play Store to reach a wider audience.
Jagel offers affordable subscription plans starting at approximately USD 6 to USD 32 per month, making it accessible for small businesses and entrepreneurs who want to build Android apps without high development costs.
Learn How to Create Your Own APK
Building an Android application with Jagel.id is simple, fast, and budget-friendly. This is why Jagel.id is the right choice for anyone who wants to create their own Android app without technical complexity.
For first-time users, the app creation process may seem confusing. In this tutorial, we will guide you step by step on how to create an Android application using the Jagel.id mobile app. Make sure you have downloaded the Jagel.id app from the Google Play Store before starting.
Install the Jagel.id App from the Play Store
Download and install the Jagel.id app from Google Play to begin the app creation process.
Create Your Own Android Application
Start by registering an account so you can begin building your application. Enter your personal information correctly, then complete the registration process. Once registered, you will be directed to the app creation page, where you can select a template provided by Jagel.
Jagel offers seven template options: Online Transportation, Massage Services, PPOB, Reservation Services, Restaurants, Online Stores, and Business Profiles. Choosing a template helps you better understand the app-building flow.
After selecting a template, enter your application name, app code, and upload an app icon. You can save the project and make further adjustments later using the app editor.
On the My App page, you will find a guide banner for new users. This guide walks you through several important steps, starting with account verification. Verify your email address by requesting a confirmation email and clicking the verification link. If the email does not appear in your inbox, check your spam folder.
Next, verify your phone number by requesting an OTP code and entering it in the verification form. After that, proceed with ID verification by uploading a clear photo of your ID card and recording a short face verification video in a well-lit environment. Enter your national ID number and full name exactly as shown on the ID card, then submit the verification request and wait for approval.
Activate Free Trial Access
Once verification is complete, activate the Bronze free trial, followed by the Platinum free trial. This will give you full access to all Jagel features for 14 days at no cost.
Edit and Customize Your App
With full access enabled, you can begin customizing your application. Start by changing the layout through the app editor. Save your changes, then proceed to manage menus by adding new menu items such as text content or other features needed for your app.
Next, customize the color scheme by adjusting background colors, text colors, and icons to match your brand identity.
Preview and Generate Your APK
Before generating the final app file, preview your application to ensure everything looks correct. If the preview meets your expectations, proceed to generate the application.
Jagel provides two output formats:
- APK, which can be installed directly on Android devices
- AAB, which is required for uploading apps to the Google Play Store
Once the app is ready, you will receive a notification from the admin. You can download the file from the My App page.
