What to look for in a Android Development freelancer
A strong Android developer should handle device fragmentation and Google's policies, not just the happy path on one phone. Look for:
- Modern Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, with enough Java to support older code.
- Apps published on the Play Store, with listings you can open and install.
- Experience across many devices: different screen sizes, OS versions, and manufacturer skins.
- Sound architecture: coroutines, dependency injection, and a clean separation of layers.
- Awareness of Play policies: permissions, data safety, and target API requirements.
Ask which devices and Android versions they tested on. A vague answer usually means it was only tried in an emulator.
