Mobile Development Questions in Interviews

Last updated: December 12, 2024

Overview 

HackerRank interviews empower you to assess the mobile development (Android Java and Kotlin or React Native) skills of a candidate during interviews. A built-in emulator is provided inside the IDE for the interviewers and candidates to build and see their code in real-time. This article will walk you through the steps to use Mobile Developer questions in a HackerRank Interview.

Prerequisites

  • You must have scheduled a HackerRank interview, either by Quick pad or Scheduled Interview.

Steps to Import from Library

As of now, you can conduct the Mobile Developer interviews using two methods:

  1. Starting a project from scratch: This starts a new Android or React Native interview with a boilerplate code.
  2. Importing a project: You can import a project from a public Git URL or upload a zip file from your local system of size up to 5MB. 

Start from Scratch

  • Inside the interviews landing page, you can find the Mobile Development frameworks. Click on the desired tile from the available options: 
    • Android Java 
    • Android Kotlin 
    • React Native
