Hi Paul,
One would think that Andriod programming is going to be with us for
year... decade at least. However that begs the question, what do you
(or anyone else) think the long term demand will be? Increasing or
decreasing?
Is there any barriers to entry like a nasty learning curve? Specialized
hardware? ETC...
I think I looked at the SDK about a year ago and as I recall it looked
to be Java based and then I think I was told of a C++ SDK. IIRC - I
think it was something that looked to take a little effort to learn but
not too bad.
I think i recall something about using JavaScript.....?
Thanks!
Keith

Not to discourage you from trying to make this happen, but a bit of
perspective might help. Currently android/java developers are in
great demand, where I live the average salary is around $110,000/yr or
roughly $2100/week. Having done a bit of contract/outsourcing work
myself, I can tell you the experienced contractors/developers intended
to lose as much as a weeks time on any project just trying to
understand what needs to happen and working with the stake holders to
make changes along the lines of "one more simple thing". The take
away is there's going to be a minimum price/complexity to justify
taking on a project for a skilled/competent developer and if your app
doesn't meet that benchmark you're going to have hard time finding a
U.S. based competent developer interested in it.
This doesn't mean it's a bad idea or you shouldn't do it, just keep in
mind that while you may be really passionate about your idea to
developers it's one of many offers to work on a contract for an
individual offering below market rates. That's a great fit for
contractors in India, students or a dev trying to expand her skill set
(web dev still learning mobile apps, etc.) but not so appealing to
established professionals.

Wanted: Android App Developer $??? Reward ...
How can I find a skilled/competent/reasonably priced Android App
Developer ... preferrably Arizona local or at least in the U.S.?
I've tried elance.com [1] and odesk.com [2] and several similar
sites, without
success. Mostly get proposals from India and Pakistan, etc.
I'm willing to pay up to $1,000 (perhaps more) to get the results
we need
for an app to read, scroll, flip pages, and search within a book.
Should
be relatively simple and straight-forward. Need to be able to add
to the
content and submit updates to the Google playstore myself.
See my first-attempt (which does not yet work as well as we need it
to)
