WHY ANDROID

The world's biggest mobile platform — by a wide margin

3+ billion active Android devices globally.

Android powers roughly 70% of the world's smartphones — over 3 billion active devices across more than 190 countries. For audience reach in international markets, no other platform comes close. India, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, and most of Africa are Android-majority.

Cast to TV is one-tap on Android.

Google Cast is built into every Android device — viewers tap the Cast icon to send playback to any Chromecast, Google TV, Android TV, or Cast-enabled Smart TV on the network. It's the dominant phone-to-TV bridge in Android households and a major driver of session length.

One adaptive app for every form factor.

OTT Engine builds your Android app to respond to every screen — phones, 7" and 10" tablets, foldables, Samsung DeX desktop mode, and ChromeOS laptops. One binary, one CMS, every Android form factor handled natively.

OTT ENGINE · ANDROID MOBILE APP BUILDER

Everything you need to launch on Google Play — without writing a line of Kotlin

Building a native Android streaming app traditionally means hiring Kotlin and Jetpack Compose developers, configuring Android Studio, integrating Google Cast SDK, Widevine, ExoPlayer, Play Billing, and Material Design 3 — then maintaining all of it across hundreds of device variants and a constantly evolving Android API. OTT Engine compresses every step into days. Our Android Mobile App Builder generates a production-ready, native phone and tablet app from your content library and brand assets — no Android Studio, no Kotlin, no fragmentation headaches.

Submission is handled through our guided workflow — Google Play Console setup, store listing, content rating, signing, and Play Store certification. When Google releases a new Android API or updates Play Store policy (target API requirements, billing rules, privacy disclosures), OTT Engine handles the rebuild and resubmission automatically. Your app stays current across every Android version and every device generation.

  • Native Android app — Kotlin/Jetpack Compose, not a web wrapper
  • Adaptive UI — phones, tablets, foldables, ChromeOS, Samsung DeX
  • Google Play Store submission — fully guided
  • Widevine L1 DRM for hardware-backed content protection
  • Google Cast — send playback to any Cast-enabled device on the network
  • Google Play Billing — SVOD subscriptions + TVOD purchases
  • SSAI ad insertion for AVOD and FAST channels
  • Picture in Picture (Android 8.0+) and background audio
  • Material Design 3 with Material You theming and dark mode
  • Continuous Android API and Play Store policy compliance
KEY FEATURES

Built for Android. Designed for every screen.

Material Design 3 with Material You

Full white-label design built on Material Design 3 — Google's latest design system — with Material You dynamic color theming where supported. Your brand palette is the source of truth, with respectful adaptation to each viewer's system theme.

One-tap Cast to TV

Google Cast is integrated in every OTT Engine Android build. Viewers send playback to Chromecast, Google TV, Android TV, or any Cast-enabled Smart TV with one tap. Resume position, captions, ads, and DRM transfer cleanly through the cast.

Widevine L1 hardware-backed DRM

Widevine L1 — Google's hardware-secured DRM tier — is supported on virtually every modern Android device. OTT Engine integrates it natively into your build, encrypting your content at the level studios require for premium licensing.

Google Play Billing native checkout

Subscribers pay using their existing Google account — no card forms, no external checkout. Play Billing handles recurring SVOD, TVOD, trials, family sharing, and failed-payment recovery. One-tap confirmation with biometric authentication.

Picture in Picture & background audio

Viewers can shrink your video into a floating window and multitask, or lock their screen and keep listening. Picture in Picture is supported on Android 8.0+ across phones, tablets, and foldables, and is a major retention feature on every streaming app.

Phones, tablets, foldables — one binary

OTT Engine's adaptive layout engine handles every Android form factor from a single APK or App Bundle. Phone UI in portrait, tablet two-pane in landscape, Samsung Fold inner-screen handoff, and ChromeOS laptop mode — all without forking the codebase.

HOW IT WORKS

From zero to live on Google Play

OTT Engine gets most Android apps into the Play Store within 7 days.

1

Connect Your Content

Upload your library or connect existing storage. OTT Engine transcodes to Android-optimized HLS and DASH with Widevine, generates artwork for phone and tablet form factors, and organizes everything into your app structure — encoded for HD, 4K, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision delivery.

2

Configure Your App

Use the no-code builder to design your Android app — bottom navigation, content shelves, monetization, Play Billing setup, and Material You theming. Preview on phone and tablet emulators in real time before submission. No Android Studio, no Kotlin.

3

Submit to Google Play

We guide you through Play Console — developer account, store listing, content rating, signing, and Play Store review. Most apps pass on first submission. Once live, you reach over 3 billion Android devices in 190+ countries.

MONETIZATION

Three ways to earn revenue on Android

SVOD

Subscription Video on Demand — charge monthly or annually through Google Play Billing. One-tap signup with biometric confirmation, native free trials, and family sharing. Developers under $1M/year qualify for Google's 15% fee tier from day one.

AVOD

Ad-Supported Video on Demand — free content funded by SSAI-served pre-roll, mid-roll, and companion ads. Server-side insertion delivers smooth, ad-blocker-resistant playback. Best for audience-first growth and international expansion.

TVOD

Transactional Video on Demand — rent or buy individual titles, films, or live pay-per-view events through Google Play Billing. Best for premiere releases and event-driven content alongside a free or subscription base tier.

FAQ

Android App Builder — Common Questions

Most OTT Engine clients have their Android phone and tablet app live in the Google Play Store within 7 days of signing up. Google's review process typically takes 2–4 days for streaming apps that follow Play Store policies, which OTT Engine is built to satisfy on first submission.

Yes. OTT Engine builds a single adaptive Android app that runs natively on phones, tablets, foldables, and ChromeOS devices from one APK or App Bundle. Layouts respond automatically to screen size, orientation, and hinge state — phone portrait UI, tablet two-pane UI, foldable inner-and-outer screen handoff — covering every Android form factor with one binary.

Yes — a Google Play Developer account is required to publish on Google Play. It's a one-time $25 registration fee. OTT Engine guides you through account setup as part of onboarding and handles all packaging, signing, and Play Store certification work on your behalf.

Yes. Every Android app OTT Engine builds is Cast-enabled out of the box. Viewers can tap the Cast icon to send playback to any Chromecast, Google TV, Android TV, or Cast-enabled device on the same network. Captions, DRM, ads, and resume position are preserved through the handoff.

Yes. Widevine is Google's native DRM and is supported at the L1 (hardware-backed) tier on virtually every modern Android device — the security level studios require for premium content. OTT Engine integrates Widevine into your app build for full content protection. Contact us for current pricing and availability.

Google Play Billing handles subscriptions, in-app purchases, and trials natively. Google's standard fee is 30% in year one, dropping to 15% from year two for subscribers retained past 12 months. Developers earning less than $1M/year on Google Play qualify for the 15% rate from day one. OTT Engine integrates Play Billing for SVOD subscriptions and TVOD purchases.

Yes. Hybrid monetization is fully supported. Google Play Billing handles SVOD subscriptions and TVOD purchases natively, and OTT Engine's SSAI pipeline serves pre-roll, mid-roll, and companion ads for AVOD content — all inside one Android app. Each viewer can move freely between free ad-supported content and premium paid tiers.

Yes. Picture in Picture is supported on Android 8.0+ — viewers can shrink your video into a floating window while using other apps. Background audio lets viewers continue listening with the screen off or in another app. OTT Engine configures both as part of the app build.

Yes. OTT Engine builds your Android app with Material Design 3 components, including Material You dynamic color theming (where supported), full dark mode, and adaptive layouts. Your branded color palette is the source of truth — but the app respects each viewer's Android system theme and wallpaper-derived colors where appropriate.

Yes. The Broadcast Network plan includes every major platform — Android, iOS, Android TV, Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, Samsung Tizen, and LG webOS — simultaneously, managed from one unified CMS. Content published once syncs across every app. Library, scheduling, billing, and analytics live in a single workspace for every screen you reach.
