The driving force behind our Android SDK online tests, is the unique testing methodology, RealLifeTesting™. With RealLifeTestin™ you have the power to analyze your applicants’ knowledge of Android, as well as to accurately measure their Android coding skills, problem-solving, and time-management. All of this happens within a controlled test environment and tests are accessed remotely, meaning candidates take the test at a time and place most suited to them, saving on time. You can observe tests in real-time to see how each candidate copes with the various challenges presented to them.
Android, is the dominant mobile operating system today, running on smartphones tablets, and various other devices. As a result, there can be a lot of competition when it comes to recruiting a new Android SDK Developer. You will need to work out who is the right candidate and fast, to stay ahead of the competition.
Firstly, your candidate will need to understand the architecture of the Android platform, processes launched during app startup, threads started, and the ways in which the application communicates with the system and other applications. They will need to possess knowledge of the basic components of the platform: Android SDK, but also Activity, Fragment, Intent, BroadcastReceiver, and ContentProvider, as well as knowledge of the basic and the most popular libraries supporting the creation of applications, Android Support Library, Google Play SDKs, Retrofit, OkHTTP, rxJava, EventBus, and Dagger.

Your Android SDK developer will also have to implement easy architecture and design patterns, which enable writing applications in a way that allows easy maintenance, extension, and testing, and be up to date with the latest trends in MVP and MVVM.
They should also be familiar with the rules concerning the creation of efficient views and the ability to create reusable custom views and possess an ability to deal with market fragmentation and the mechanisms Android offers, to ensure the smooth operation of the application on devices with varying specifications, from screen size and density to different language versions and different versions of the system itself. Your candidate should also be familiar with the different names given to each version of Android from C-N (Cupcake, Donut, etc).
You can test your applicants’ experience based on the number of applications they have released on Google Play and if these are still available, check what they look like, how they work, and how many downloads they have. It is also worth finding out how large the developer’s team was and their specific role in the project.
Wait, there’s more. DevSkiller Android SDK online tests are completely customizable, meaning you can set the parameters of each test based on your needs. The DevSkiller online task wizard comes with default settings which can be easily altered, to set the language you want to assess, the difficulty of each test, and the duration of each test, making finding your next Android SDK developer easier than ever.
Choosing how to invest your company’s money can be daunting, so if you’re still unsure, here’s at what some of our customers have to say about DevSkiller online tests:
“The greatest advantage for the candidates is that they can proceed with the tests at their own convenience. In case you have a candidate who is already working and is thinking about changing the career or moving to another company, it is also a time saver for them, as they do not have to take time off in order to attend numerous interviews in the search for a new position.”
“Thanks to automating the screening stage, we were able to reduce the interview rate by 50%. At the same time, the quality of candidates who make it to the interview stage is now much greater. DevSkiller adds an extra layer of quality to our technical hiring process”
“DevSkiller helped us to save precious on-site time for applicants that are already likely to be a fit. We’re saving 3 hours per candidate – that was the time we spent with applicants on a technical task before.”
One of the benefits of DevSkiller Android SDK tests, is they are simple and easy to set up. DevSkiller comes with an extensive library of predefined tests that are ready to send out, meaning you can start sending test invites to candidates within minutes.
DevSkiller takes plagiarism very seriously. A number of anti-plagiarism tools are in place to ensure you receive accurate results from your Android SDK tests. DevSkiller’s plagiarism detector cross-checks any entered code or answer given to any question, against every other answer in our system to see if there is a match and if there is, we can categorically prove the candidate cheated.
The RealLifeTesting™ methodology is the foundation of DevSkiller Android SDK tests. Instead of traditional coding challenges or algorithmic puzzles, RealLifeTesting™ simulates real scenarios that your applicants would likely encounter in their work and tests their ability to react to these challenges using their skills and experience. Offering you a comprehensive understanding of your applicant’s skills.
Candidates can utilize resources like Stack Overflow, in order to show they possess the critical thinking needed to find the quickest and most efficient solution to the problems they encounter
DevSkiller tests are evaluated automatically once the candidate completes the test or the time elapses. Results are then compiled into automatically generated reports that are easy to understand, even for non-technical professionals.
Candidates are assessed on the number of errors in their code, the quality of the code, and how it works in edge cases, as well as if the solutions they gave would run.
