Kontak UGM is a one of the communication system that developed by Pusat Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (PPTIK) UGM. Kontak’s main purpose is for communication which can be used by academicians in UGM. However, Kontak will be more beneficial if it can be used in a mobile, at anywhere, and anytime. Thus, in this research we will study how to develop Kontak as a Android application which can fulfill the function and main feature of Kontak UGM system. But, Android is an operating system which have a multiple version that currently being developed. After the implementation, we will learn about how wide the range of the Android versions which can give the application support to be developed. This Kontak application will be developed with the support of REST API Kontak from the previous research. This API ease the application to transfer data from the server to the application. After the implementation phase, the application compatibility test is done by change the minimum requirement of Android API. If application is not compatible with specific Android version then we have to make an adjustment. If the adjustment cannot make the application compatible with the Android version then we took that version as a minimum Android version that application required. Kontak Android application can be implemented with the support of REST API Kontak. Kontak application can be deployed in Android that have a range of Android API from 23 to 7. This wide-range implementation is possible by the usage of support library which provide the backward compatibility feature for some component in latest version of Android API.
