Yes, Android development remains highly in demand in 2025, as Android powers over 70% of the global smartphone market. With increasing needs for enterprise apps, fintech solutions, and IoT integrations, businesses are actively hiring Android developers for scalable, secure, and performance-driven mobile apps. Technologies like Golang are also being used alongside Android to build fast, scalable backend APIs that support these apps.

 Kotlin and Java are the primary languages used for native Android development. Kotlin, backed by Google, is now the preferred language due to its concise syntax and null safety. However, developers often use Golang (Go) for backend services, API development, and microservices that interact with Android apps, especially in high-performance environments.

 While Golang isn't commonly used to build Android apps directly, it can be integrated into Android projects for specific backend or performance-heavy tasks. For instance, using Golang for building secure, scalable APIs and microservices is a common practice in Android architecture. This hybrid approach helps separate concerns between frontend (Android) and backend (Golang) for better performance and maintainability.

 Best practices include using encrypted data storage, secure APIs (often built in Golang for speed and reliability), biometric authentication, regular code obfuscation, and minimizing permissions. Android developers must also follow Google's latest Play Store policies and use secure network protocols (like HTTPS and OAuth 2.0) to protect user data.
