HIRE DEVELOPERS  /  ANDROID APP DEVELOPERS

Android appdevelopment,tested on real hardware.

Android application development means building for 3 billion+ active devices across hundreds of manufacturers and screen sizes — Kotlin syntax alone doesn't cover it. Our Android developers have shipped production apps to 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.

Modern Kotlin with Jetpack Compose for new projects, Java maintained where needed — the actual substance of Android app development, not just syntax. MVVM, Clean Architecture, and Jetpack components: Room, WorkManager, Navigation, LiveData.

EXPERT BENCH01

Android app developers, vetted for the depth.

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 — vetted for Android-specific depth, not just Kotlin syntax. Every developer has shipped to Google Play.

FAST HIRING02

The rare part isn't Kotlin, it's everything after.

Developers who list Kotlin on a resume are common. Developers who've debugged an ANR crash on a budget Xiaomi device, handled Google Play policy enforcement, and optimized for low-RAM hardware are not. We keep that second group ready.

FLEXIBLE ENGAGEMENT03

Android staff augmentation, sized to fit.

A dedicated Android developer for a long-term product. A part-time specialist for Play Store maintenance and OS updates. An hourly consultant for a Compose migration or a policy rejection. Sized to which one is real.

Hiring model

Three ways
to staff your Android build.

Device fragmentation, varying screen densities, manufacturer-specific bugs, background process restrictions, Google Play policy changes — Android application development is harder than it looks, and our developers have shipped apps that survive Samsung, Xiaomi, and stock Android, dealing with Play rejection and policy enforcement firsthand.

M01160h / mo

Full-time hiring

One Android developer, embedded full-time, owning architecture and Compose UI through backend integration and Google Play releases. Right for a team building an Android app as a core product over multiple quarters.

M0280h / mo

Part-time hiring

Twenty hours a week — enough for Android version updates, fixing Crashlytics reports, features between releases, or keeping the Play Console listing current.

M0340h blocks

Hourly hiring

A Play Store policy rejection, a Jetpack Compose migration plan, a performance profile on low-end devices, an architecture review for a new Android project — targeted Android consulting, scoped and delivered.

  • Embedded in your Slack & Linear
  • Reports into your engineering lead
  • Same hiring bar — you direct
03

Hybrid model

Backend APIs and product decisions stay with your team. Compose UI, device testing across manufacturers, Play Store compliance, and release management become ours.

  • Specialists from us, generalists from you
  • Shared standups + code reviews
  • Clear DRI per platform
Stack & tooling

The stack our Android
app development team ships with.

Modern Android engineering across the full Jetpack ecosystem — what our engineers actually work with, daily.

Kotlin

Primary language for modern Android: coroutines, Flow, Retrofit, 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 — Google's preferred language, and the entire Jetpack Compose ecosystem is Kotlin-only. Java for maintaining existing legacy codebases, and we handle Java-to-Kotlin migration as its own workstream when that's the goal, not just interop patches. Our developers move fluently between both.
Compose for new projects — faster to develop, more testable, 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.
Real devices first — Samsung, Xiaomi, Pixel, OnePlus — not just emulators. Firebase Test Lab covers the wider device matrix. Responsive layouts adapt from 5-inch phones to 10-inch tablets, with 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, deceptive behavior flags.
Yes. Google Play Billing Library for one-time purchases and subscriptions, server-side receipt validation, grace periods, account holds, and full subscription lifecycle handling — tested end-to-end in the Play Console sandbox before production.
Yes. WorkManager for background processing that respects Doze mode and battery restrictions, Firebase Cloud Messaging for push notifications, foreground services only where real-time processing genuinely requires them — with notification management that doesn't get the app uninstalled.
