Problem

Explain how you would optimize an Android app for performance. Focus on how you would identify bottlenecks, reduce UI jank, lower memory pressure, and improve code-level efficiency using better data structures or algorithms.

What This Tests

  • Finding bottlenecks with profiling
  • Reducing main-thread work
  • Improving array and string hot paths
  • Using hash tables for faster lookup
  • Applying memoization or dynamic programming when work repeats

Strong Answer Signals

Measures before optimizing
Mentions frame drops, CPU, and memory allocation behavior
Gives concrete code-level examples
Explains time-space trade-offs
Validates improvements after changes
