Android App Developer - Day - 2 - Day can vary quiet often as we move to different projects. Its very exciting we get to work with all kinds of new technology. For example we have not long finished working with the Google Glass ( Now discontinued ). We use Mac computers to write code and test out apps on our phones. Its a great learning curve
