Fit
When should you hire an dedicated Android developer?
Hire a dedicated Android developer when your app has to work well on the phones your customers actually own, not only the latest flagship. In markets like India, that means low-memory devices, older Android versions and patchy networks, and testing for them takes steady, focused work.
It is also the right move when you are moving an older Java app to Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, or when Play Store policy changes keep forcing releases. A developer who owns the app full-time keeps those updates on schedule.
Skills
What skills do Xcrino's Android developers bring?
Beyond the basics, these are the areas our Android developers handle in client projects.
- Kotlin: Modern Kotlin with coroutines and Flow, and Java where older code needs it.
- Jetpack Compose: Declarative UI, plus migration from XML layouts screen by screen.
- Architecture: MVVM with Hilt, Room and WorkManager for apps that stay maintainable.
- Device coverage: Testing on low-end and older devices, with crash and ANR monitoring.
- Integrations: Payments, maps, push notifications and your backend APIs.
- Play Store releases: Signing, staged rollouts and keeping up with Play policy changes.
