What is Android?

Android is an open-source mobile operating system that was acquired by Google in 2005 and released in 2008. There are over 2.5 billion active Android users worldwide. Android doesn’t just appear on smartphones but also on smartwatches, Android TVs, and Android Auto.

There are over 2.6 million apps available on the official Google Play store. In addition to that, the apps can also be sideloaded from the web. The other operating systems that are not based on Android, like Chrome OS and Windows 11, can also run Android apps. So, how do you make sure that your company does not miss out on this large volume of potential customers? By hiring Android Developers!

We can help make your dream Android app come true by providing experienced, vetted Android developers for just a fraction of the cost.

Android remains the world's most popular mobile operating system, with a market share of over 72% as of 2022.

What can an Android Developer do for you?

An Android Developer specializes in building applications for Android devices of different forms. He stays on top of the features of the new version of Android released every year and leverages them in the application while staying compatible with older versions of Android.


Roles and Responsibilities of an Android Developer
  • Translate wireframes and designs to high quality code
  • Design, build and maintain high performance, reliable, scalable Java or Kotlin code
  • Identify and fix bottlenecks and bugs
  • Working with third party libraries and APIs
  • Create unit tests for code to ensure robustness and performance

Skills to look for in an Android Developer

There are specific skills that you should look for in the Android developer you hire


Expertise in Kotlin/Java

Kotlin is a cross-platform, statically typed language used by 60% of Android developers. The Android developer you hire should be able to leverage the benefits that Kotlin brings - Concise coding, Null safety, Coroutines, Extension Functions, Higher-order Functions, etc. Java, on the other hand, is a general-purpose programming language that remains a popular choice for building enterprise-scale applications. Kotlin and Java are interoperable, so it is common to find codebases using both of these languages, and that means the developer should be proficient in both of these languages.

Experience with Android Studio

Android Studio provides a powerful set of tools that helps developers to build apps faster for different Android devices. It is extremely important for the developer you hire to be able to use profilers to identify performance bottlenecks, inspect heap and memory allocation and network payloads, use emulators to test the app on multiple device configurations, use various other tools for analyzing the APK, for creating multiple build variants using Gradle and so on.

Good grasp of Android SDK

Android SDK (Software Development Kit) is a toolkit used to develop applications for the Android platform. An experienced Android developer should have a solid knowledge of fundamental concepts like activity, lifecycle, views, handling UI events, data handling and so on.

Knowledge of Android UI/UX design

It is not a luxury but a necessity these days for an Android app to be beautiful and intuitive in addition to being usable in order to stand out in the crowd. The Android developer should be able to proactively collaborate with the UI/UX designer to bring out the best design output and an impressive user experience.

Experience in accessing APIs

Most mobile apps will require back-and-forth communication with backend servers to fetch/save user data, and this requires a profound knowledge of REST and SOAP API calls. Make sure to question the candidate on these web service architectures, how to choose between them, JSON and XML data formats and key aspects of communication - authentication and authorization.

Experience with Version Control

Yet another crucial skill to look for in any developer is a deep understanding of Version Control systems like Git. He/she will be collaborating with a team of multiple Android developers and backend developers hence working knowledge of version control systems is important to ensure code sanity.
