The interview process was very streamlined and well-defined beforehand by HR.

I was reached out to by HR from Facebook and agreed to a specified date for an initial phone screen, a verbal interview conducted by an HR person. On the day of the verbal phone screen round, a set of questions was presented, which were easy to answer if you knew the concepts of Android well and how it worked. I have copy-pasted the questions from a previous post here, and luckily, I was asked the same questions. I'm not sure who provided the exact questions, but thanks for the help. The correct answers are also marked below the options mentioned.

Once I cleared the initial verbal phone screen, I had a phone technical coding interview with one of their engineers from Seattle, WA.

The interviewer asked me, "What is the difference between an Activity and a Fragment?"

I answered him satisfactorily.

Next, he moved on to a coding question using the screen-sharing tool they had shared initially after the first phone interview.

The phone technical question is posted at the end.

Even though I was not selected for an onsite interview, which I expected to get despite doing so well, I hope this post helps whoever is applying for an Android Developer role. Please follow through and reach your destination. May the force be with you.
