HIRE DEVELOPERS  /  ANDROID APP DEVELOPERS

Android engineering

Android apps builtfor real devices,not emulators.

Android has 3 billion+ active devices across hundreds of manufacturers and screen sizes — building for it properly requires more than just knowing Kotlin. Our Android developers have shipped production apps on Google Play, handled fragmentation across real devices, and dealt with the full complexity of the Android ecosystem.

Why Entalogics

Why teams hire
Android app developers from us.

Our Android developers write modern Kotlin with Jetpack Compose for new projects, and maintain Java codebases where needed. They understand Android architecture patterns — MVVM, Clean Architecture, Jetpack components including Room, WorkManager, Navigation, and LiveData.

EXPERT BENCH01

Expert Android app developers, only.

Vetted for Android-specific depth — not just Kotlin syntax. Jetpack Compose and XML Views, coroutines and Flow, Hilt dependency injection, Room persistence, and real experience shipping apps that survive Samsung, Xiaomi, and Pixel fragmentation. Every developer has shipped to Google Play.

FAST HIRING02

Fast hiring process.

Android developers who list Kotlin on their resume are plentiful. Android developers who've debugged ANR crashes on budget Xiaomi devices, handled Google Play policy enforcement, and optimised for low-RAM hardware are not. We keep the second group ready.

FLEXIBLE ENGAGEMENT03

Flexible engagement.

Dedicated developer for a long-term Android product. Part-time specialist for Play Store maintenance and OS version updates. Hourly consultant for a Compose migration assessment or Play Store policy rejection debugging. You choose.

Hiring model

Three ways
to staff your build.

Android development is harder than it looks. Device fragmentation, varying screen densities, manufacturer-specific bugs, background process restrictions, and Google Play policy changes are real challenges. Our developers have shipped apps that work on Samsung, Xiaomi, and stock Android — and they've dealt with Google Play rejection and policy enforcement firsthand.

M01160h / mo

Full-time hiring

A dedicated Android developer embedded in your team full-time — owning architecture, building Compose UI, integrating backend APIs, and managing Google Play releases. Best for teams building an Android app as a core product over multiple quarters.

M0280h / mo

Part-time hiring

20 hours per week of focused Android work. Ideal for teams maintaining a published app — handling Android version updates, fixing crash reports from Firebase Crashlytics, adding features between releases, or managing the Play Console listing.

M0340h blocks

Hourly hiring

Targeted Android consulting — Play Store policy rejection debugging, Jetpack Compose migration planning, performance profiling on low-end devices, or architecture review for a new Android project. Scoped, delivered, done.

Engagement models

Who runs
the project.

  • Shared standups + code reviews
  • Clear DRI per platform
Stack & tooling

Technologies our
Android app developers use competently.

Modern Android engineering across the full Jetpack ecosystem. Here's what our engineers work with daily.

Kotlin

Primary language for modern Android — coroutines, Flow, and Compose-first APIs.

Java

Legacy codebase maintenance and Kotlin-Java interop on long-lived products.

Jetpack Compose

Declarative UI with state hoisting, previews, and Material 3 theming.

XML Views

View-based layouts and incremental Compose migration inside existing apps.

Android SDK

Platform APIs, permissions, and release-target alignment across OEM devices.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Straight answers.

Six questions we get on every first call about hiring Android app developers. If yours isn't here, we'll cover it first.

Kotlin for all new development — it's Google's preferred language and the entire Jetpack Compose ecosystem is Kotlin-only. Java when maintaining existing legacy codebases that haven't been migrated yet. Our developers are fluent in both and handle Kotlin-Java interop cleanly.
Compose for new projects — it's faster to develop, more testable, and Google's clear direction forward. XML Views for existing apps where a full Compose migration isn't justified. We migrate incrementally — Compose screens inside View-based apps — no flag-day rewrite.
Test on real devices — Samsung, Xiaomi, Pixel, OnePlus — not just emulators. Firebase Test Lab for automated testing across device matrices. Responsive layouts that adapt to screen sizes from 5" phones to 10" tablets. OS version targeting from Android 8+ (API 26) covering 95%+ of active devices.
Yes. Play Console setup, app signing, store listing, content rating questionnaire, privacy policy, and data safety section. We've handled Play Store rejections and know the common triggers — policy violations, missing disclosures, and deceptive behaviour flags.
Yes. Google Play Billing Library integration for one-time purchases and subscriptions. Server-side receipt validation. Grace periods, account holds, and subscription lifecycle handling. Tested end-to-end in Play Console sandbox before production.
Yes. WorkManager for reliable background processing that respects Doze mode and battery restrictions. Firebase Cloud Messaging for push notifications. Foreground services where real-time processing genuinely requires it — with proper notification management so users don't uninstall.
