This blog is about the Android interview preparation guide for Android developers.
Let’s talk about the things which should we consider while preparing for Android Interview.
Today I will tell you the 4 most important things which are required for cracking the Android Interview.
- Make your fundamentals strong about Android and Java or Kotlin.
- Prepare yourself for the Data Structures and Algorithms Interview.
- Be yourself and be ready to discuss the projects you have mentioned in your resume.
- Keep yourself updated with the latest trends in Android Technology.
1. Make your fundamentals strong about the Android and Java or Kotlin
If your fundamental is clear, it will be easy for you to tackle the difficult, tricky questions too. I have been helping many Android Developers in learning the fundamentals and core concepts and getting jobs as Android engineers.
Go through the cheat sheet for the Android interview.
Here is the link to the cheat sheet.
Check out my YouTube channel, I have a playlist on “Android Interview Questions and Answers”: YouTube Channel by Amit Shekhar.
2. Prepare yourself for the Data Structures and Algorithms Interview
Android Developer should know these Data Structures for Next Interview
3. Be yourself and be ready to discuss the projects you have mentioned in the resume
Be confident while you answer. If you are asked a question that you don’t know, tell them that you are not sure, take help, and then continue with the answer. Most of the time, the interviewer asks about the projects which you have mentioned in the resume. Explain the work you did under those projects clearly.
4. Keep yourself updated with the latest trends in Android Technology
Even if you might not be able to have detailed knowledge about everything, it will always give you an upper hand when you are aware of the latest trends and technology in the Android app development industry.
The best way to be updated with Android technology is to follow me on Twitter.
I continuously share the latest trends in Android Tech.
So, these above four are the most important things for cracking the Android Interview.
Other things which you should consider for cracking the Android Interview are as follows:
- Know very well about the company. Do some research on the company, check their website, and read on the other websites about the company.
- Have an Android app that you have released on the Google play store. It’s always an advantage if you have an Android application that you have released on the Google play store.
- Know about the tools which you use while developing. For example git.
- Always take help wherever required. The interviewer will help you.
- Always keep in mind that the interview is both-sided. It should be a discussion.
- Prepare for non-technical things like puzzles and tricky questions.
