What is an Android Developer?

 

An Android Developer is a Software Developer who specializes in designing applications for the Android marketplace. The Android marketplace is the direct competitor to Apple’s app store. This means most of an Android Developer’s job revolves around creating the apps we use on our smartphones and tablets. Android Developers can either work in-house for a large organization, or they can be employed by an App Development agency.

The role of Android Developer is a skilled, entry-level position. Employers often require a bachelor’s degree in software development or a related field, but they typically do not require work experience as an Android Developer. The next rung on the career ladder would be Senior Android Developer, which involves taking on leadership and mentorship roles. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, demand for Software Developers, which includes Android Developers, is expected to rise a whopping 17 percent through 2024.

Design and Build Advanced Applications for the Android Platform

This is the duty where an Android Developer dedicates most of their time. This involved using C / C++, JavaScript and a few other tools to write program code. This duty requires as an extreme attention to detail, as one mistyped line of code can render the whole program unusable.

An Android Developer’s job isn’t done once an application is finished. They are also responsible for troubleshooting bugs that arise when the app is shipped to users. Android Developers must be able to methodically test possible issues and be able to quickly develop a software patch to fix the problem.

Android Developers have to stay current on the latest trends in mobile application use. They have to evaluate new tools as they hit the market and figure out whether they’re worth implementing. This requires the ability to adapt to an ever-changing environment.

Work With Outside Data Sources and APIs

An Android developer spends a fair amount of time working with outside data sources and APIs. Critical thinking is important here in order to apply this information to their specific project.

 

Android Developer Skills

This requires intricate knowledge of C/C++ and JavaScript. Android Developers also have to be somewhat trendy when it comes to tech.
