   <p>Google offers a variety of services that help you build new revenue streams, enhance your app's capabilities, manage distribution and payloads, and track usage and installs. Many of the services use static libraries that you download through the Android SDK Manager and build into your app. Others are configurable directly from Google Play Android Developer Console.</p>

   

   <p>The sections below highlight some of the Google Services and link you to more information about how to use them in your Android app. </p>

  Monetize your app

</h2>

<p>

  There are many ways to monetize your Android app, such as with ad impressions or In-App billing. If you

  choose to charge a price to download your app, Android also provides the ability to check

  for valid application licenses to protect your revenue. Because different apps require

  different strategies, you can pick which ones are best for your app.
