Senior Android Developer Checklist

These are all the concepts and topics that you're going to have to go through in order level up into or as a senior Android developer.

[@warTag68]

In my last company senior was also expected to mentor junior/mid level devs, write documentation and lead initiatives (basically create spike tickets and transfer business requirements into actionable tasks for junior/mid level devs). Also senior needed to know: advanced Kotlin features (generics, delegates, inline/infix functions), CI/CD, Linter, GIT (not only how to rebase/merge/solve conflicts but also how to coordinate a release). Also SOLID/CLEAN principles, multi module architecture, how to publish a dependency to Maven, in order to increase build speed. On top of all that senior was expected to have perfect communication skills and handle stress well, stay chill even though everything is burning, also having the ability to deal with incompetent team members (other devs, business analytics, QA). In my opinion if you master how to deal with stress, you are already half way of being a senior.

I definitely missed the above + design patterns... but hey maybe next video

@@odayprogrammer Its impossible to list everything required for a senior to be honest. In the end it boils down to having enough experience to build a stable, readable and maintainable app while also being able to evaluate tradeoffs behind every decision. And of course learning new stuff, but also knowing when it is relevant and when not.

I found this channel just after watching your Vim in Android Studios video. You're an absolute treasure!

[@odayprogrammer]

a treasure, now that's a big word, well thank you, you are a blessing

[@SumanasooriyaSuresh]

I learn lot of things from you. Thank you very much for the great work 👏

[@mohsenrzna8473]

I love the part where you are acting like the company managers and you're trying to talk like them :d you're amazing man!

[@pavelcistjakov243]

I thought I was weird for always pronouncing senior as señor and chuckling to myself. Now I dont feel alone, and for that I love you.

[@sajithshaminda8836]

Very informative. Thanks

[@Ab10Ab00]

I didn't want to lol but you forced it out of me 😆 I also watched the whole video even though I have no desire to be a senior android developer. Now I know what to look for. Thanks

[@odayprogrammer]

I appreciate this, coming from a man who has publicly subscribed to my channel 7 years ago, thank *you*!

[@DjangoMx]

Amazing, just facts!

[@oscarposadas3037]

ktor is also relevant, used that in my previous project

[@bhavdipbhalodia]

Nice explanation. Hats of to your efforts💯 Thank you for some great TIPs.. Loved your TIPs and suggestions. It would be very good to make more questions for android developers for Java and Kotlin jetpack

[@odayprogrammer]

Everyone seems to want interview questions

[@user-sm4sj5zc1h]

With Koin we can make a test structure that checks all the injections and if any are missing we can throw an error in the CI.

[@matinzd]

ButterKnife is not for dependency injection as far as I know. It's for view binding.

[@odayprogrammer]

Heyyyy how did I miss that sorry you’re right!

[@odayprogrammer]

Not even a single person made this connection and so many watched the video :D

[@Dynamic_games_]

Great one

[@mabeleain3320]

Thank you for your list... really helpful. Btw, I like your talking style 😄

[@odayprogrammer]

Well thank you I like your commenting style

[@jaelsonwagner]

Agreed 💯, my friend.

[@odayprogrammer]

Agreed my French

[@monwarjahanmufad1294]

Video on testing with real implementations please Señor

[@jam4l]

Haha you are just amazing bro, i have enjoyed and of course learned a lot, thanks

[@odayprogrammer]

No bro, you’re amazing

[@devgabriel6898]

i would add non-code related things such as CI/CD, Playstore. And probably some things like Workers, Services (apart from FCM service) but not much more. Agree that analytics is not hard but a pain in the ass I need to know better about deeplinking since my knowloedge of that is pretty basic Excellent guide! Im not a seNIOR yet, but i love Compose... Luckily for me, about 2 years with it and forgeting about XML and those tedious Recycler Adapters and long fragments boilerplates.

[@user-jr4iv5bo8p]

Thanks

[@kundankumar8994]

Analytics and Refactoring were the best one😅😄👌

[@radu2173]

This video was really funny

[@theevan3867]

I know most of these and can't get an interview as a jr dev! :/ i have an app showcasing them too. Must be my resume i guess. Thanks for the video!

[@odayprogrammer]

there is a rule of thumb that says: if you can't get an interview, the problem is your resume, if you can't pass the interviews, the problem is your knowledge

[@theevan3867]

@@odayprogrammer thank you. I'll work on it today and seek help. appreciate it!

[@SumanasooriyaSuresh]

@@odayprogrammer I think we have to practice more to present, although our knowledge is in a better level

1 minute in, I said the same thing to someone before…. I think I’m senior

[@odayprogrammer]

I think you’re senior too, you sound like it

[@jmorasot]

As a mexican I feel very offended for this video... I'm joking it's very funny listing you say Sinior hahaha also all your points are so good and valid, thanks for your work!

[@odayprogrammer]

Thank you to the real senõr, look out for video #2, I think I missed a ton of stuff

[@tunisiaFANS]

Lol

[@jmorasot]

You missed event bus hahaha

[@konstantinpetrenko199]

What about garbag collector?

[@odayprogrammer]

No one has ever asked me about garbage collection, but you can study it if you like of course, they may ask you

[@bob_factory]

I think CI/CD also falls on the lap of a sr software engineer these days. All companies I am appplying for right now is expecting it from me now.

[@odayprogrammer]

Bitrise or GitHub Actions or something else?
