Flexible engagement
Full time, part time or a fixed number of hours a month.
Your tools and process
Your repo, tickets and stand-ups, with overlap hours agreed up front.
Management included
A lead who reviews code and keeps work on track.
Contracts & IP
NDA and code ownership handed to you.
Tools we use: React, Next.js, Node.js, Laravel, Python.
Skills
What a good Android developer brings
Look for skills that match the app you already have as well as the features you want to add. Ask developers to explain their choices against a real task in your backlog.
- Kotlin and interfacesBuild screens with Jetpack Compose and maintain Java code and XML layouts in an older app.
- Background workUse Kotlin coroutines and Flow for work and data streams without freezing the main thread.
- App structureUse ViewModels, a repository layer, dependency injection and Room to organise app logic and local data.
- Permissions and scheduled tasksUse WorkManager, request permissions when a feature needs them and handle a refusal.
- Testing and profilingUse JUnit, Compose UI tests or Espresso, then investigate slow screens and memory leaks with Android Studio profilers.
Use cases
What you can hire Android developers for
Android work can range from a consumer app for phones and tablets to software used on rugged handhelds, point-of-sale terminals, kiosks or barcode scanners. Field-service and logistics apps can also use offline data, maps and location tracking alongside scanning.
You may already have an app that needs attention. Developers can move Java code to Kotlin, replace XML layouts with Compose and investigate crashes or slow start-up reported in Play Console.
Native Android is a useful fit when your app needs deep device integration, custom hardware, long-running background services or strong performance across a wide range of phones. Describe the devices and features before choosing the approach.
How hiring works
How hiring works with us
You work directly with the people building your product. Our developers already work on our client projects; we do not find freelancers for your assignment.
- 01
Choose capacity
Hire developers full time, part time or for a fixed number of hours a month, according to the work you have ready.
- 02
Include a lead
We include management, with a lead who reviews code and keeps the work on track.
- 03
Set up the work
Developers join your repository, tickets and stand-ups. Agree the overlap hours before work starts.
- 04
Onboard against a real task
We set up the environment, walk through the product and codebase, and start with a small task. Share your architecture, coding standards and release process, and record any gaps found.
- 05
Control access
Use individual accounts with the least permissions needed. Start with staging access and add production access once the review process is in place.
Time zones
Working hours between Malaysia and India
India time is 2h30m behind Malaysia. The working week in most Malaysian states is Monday–Friday; in Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu it is Sunday–Thursday. Agree a fixed overlap window for stand-ups and quick questions, and keep it free of other meetings on both sides.
Written updates help you catch up. An end-of-day note can cover progress, blockers and next steps; handover notes can record unfinished work, open questions and decisions. Put acceptance criteria, screenshots and links in tickets so the developer has the detail needed to proceed.
Rules
What your Android project in Malaysia has to handle
If your app sends personal data from Malaysia to India, the cross-border transfer guidelines require you to inform people through a personal data protection notice or another written notice and keep records of each receiver. We set up the notice and a transfer record covering the receiver, destination, data type and purpose.
The guidelines also require contracts with third parties or data processors to include clauses governing personal data processing and security. We set up those clauses in the project contract so the processing arrangements are recorded alongside the work.
Vetting
How to judge an Android developer before you commit
- Ask how they would support low-cost phones on weak networks. Listen for real-device testing, caching and smaller images.
- Ask what changed when they last raised an app’s target API level. A specific answer should cover permission, background-work or notification changes.
- Install apps they have built from Google Play. Read reviews and check the update history for crash complaints.
- Ask what happens when Android closes an app in the background. Look for an explanation of saving state and restoring the user’s screen and input.
Checklist
What to have ready before developers start
Prepare enough detail for the developer to begin on useful work and know how it will be reviewed.
- Rank the backlog or write a first set of tasks with enough detail to start.
- List the skills and seniority needed, including experience with any legacy system or specific framework.
- Share your working hours, the overlap you need and the person who will answer developer questions.
- Define doneagree review rules, expected tests and how work is deployed and approved.
Cost & time
What affects the cost of hiring Android developers
The shape of the work and the support a developer needs both affect the plan.
Seniority
Experienced developers cost more and need less supervision; junior developers suit defined tasks with close review.
Codebase condition
Legacy systems, niche frameworks and missing documentation narrow the available pool and slow onboarding.
Working-hour overlap
More coverage of your working day affects who is available and how the plan is set up.
Management
The plan differs when a lead plans work and reviews code or when you manage the developer directly.

Questions
Asked by businesses in Malaysia
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to hire an Android developer?
There is no fixed price. The amount of work in your backlog and the capacity you need are key drivers: ongoing product work may suit a full-time plan, while maintenance or work in bursts may suit part-time or hour-based work. We send a free quote once the scope is agreed.
How do I hire a dedicated remote developer?
Start with the work you want done and the way your team reviews it. We fit into your existing repositories, tools and review process. Use merged pull requests, demos and shipped features to assess progress, and review code early to establish standards and catch misunderstandings.
Should I choose native Android or a cross-platform app?
Choose based on the app and the platforms you need. For an app that must also run on iOS and mostly contains forms, lists and content, a cross-platform framework can save the work of separate codebases. Kotlin Multiplatform shares business logic while keeping native interfaces.
What is included when I hire developers from you?
You get a shared backlog, regular demos and direct access to the team. You control the priorities, and we review them together regularly. Code reviews, tests and documentation are included to help keep the work maintainable as features and fixes move through the backlog.
Who owns the code and project accounts?
You own your code, domain and content, with no lock-in. We also provide an NDA. Keep repositories, cloud accounts and third-party services under your organisation, and confirm the assignment of intellectual property in the contract so ownership is recorded alongside access.
Can you support the app after launch?
Yes. You can scale the plan up or down or pause it as your needs change. For a Google Play app, ongoing work can include checking crash reports and Android vitals in Play Console and keeping the target API level current for app updates.
