Android Social Networking App

I need a developer who can build a full-featured social networking application for Android. The goal is to give users a smooth way to create profiles, connect with friends, share posts, and interact in real time. I already have a broad concept in mind, but I rely on your experience to translate it into an intuitive, modern Android experience that can scale. Core scope • Native Android development (Kotlin or Java) with clean, well-commented code. • Standard social features: secure sign-up/login, editable profiles, follow or friend functionality, post/photo sharing, likes and comments, and basic real-time messaging. • A simple, responsive UI that follows current Material Design guidelines. • Back-end setup (Firebase or a comparable cloud solution) for user auth, data storage, and push notifications. • Thorough testing on a range of Android devices and OS versions, with any bugs resolved before delivery. Deliverables 1. Complete Android Studio project with source code and buildable Gradle files. 2. Signed, release-ready APK. 3. Brief technical documentation covering project structure, third-party libraries, and steps to publish to Google Play. Acceptance criteria • All listed core features work smoothly without crashes. • UI meets Material Design standards and adapts gracefully to phone and tablet screens. • Code passes lint checks and compiles with no errors or warnings. • You provide a quick walkthrough video (screen capture) demonstrating each use case. If you have built similar social apps before, feel free to mention them—seeing a live example helps me gauge fit and quality. I am ready to start as soon as I find the right partner, and I’ll provide prompt feedback throughout the project.
