App templates are a great way to jumpstart your next project or to learn from other people's work. This article lists a few popular Android templates available on Envato Market. If you are looking for inspiration or you're building an Android app and need help with a particular feature, then you may find your answer in some of these templates. All of these templates come with full source code so you can customize the apps however you want.
1. Restaurant Finder
If you want to build an app that will help users find restaurants nearby look no further. The Restaurant Finder android template is rich with functional features to help you build an interactive easy-to-use app.
Since it’s a location-based app template, users can—by default—see restaurants that are nearby. They can search for restaurants by zip code and by food type, read reviews, as well as book a table via email or text message. They can also share on social media. In addition, users can register, create and edit their own profiles, add their favorite restaurants and write reviews. A map feature is included in the template to help users find direction to restaurants. They can also zoom in and out to display all locational pins.
The back-end features a PHP admin panel for storing restaurant and user profiles. It’s also equipped with analytics dashboard that shows metrics about the restaurants and users of the app. The adminstrator can add, delete, edit restaurants, create food categories, update and delete special offers. In addition, the administator can delete users who are spamming or writing abusive comments.
Finally, you can monetize your app by using Admob which is included in this template.
2. Your Radio App

You want to create an app that will guide visitors to interesting places in your city. The City app template is the best choice. It’s a tourism or city guide app. This all-native app lets users discover interesting places on a city map. The app UI follows material design specs and even has animations.
Data is stored locally on the user's phone so the app is fast and responsive, and can work in offline mode. There is also an integrated admin back-end, so you can update the location data from anywhere on the fly. Then, with GCM notification, you can send those updates out to your users so they always have the latest version.

Sometimes it's really helpful just to have a reference template to work from. Some examples of a good UI design that you can copy and paste and modify. That's where Android Material UI Template comes in.
This popular template contains many examples of material design app layouts. These pixel-perfect layouts make it easy for you to create your own beautiful material design app.
