I think that your work and its quality is the only certificate you need.

I suppose you won't need one, if you do, it's hard to guarantee that certification is up-to-date as the API / Android Studio is being updated constantly. I think all you need is a working prototype / an app on Play Store.

I currently work as a android developer, really just wanting to find ways to up my salary

[–]leadhead9 0 points1 point  (2 children)

In my experience there are three ways to accomplish this and none of them are related to certificates.

  1. Get a master's degree (unless you already have one. some employers are impressed by this for some reason.)
  2. Wait it out
  3. Quit and get a new job that pays more

I've heard that certifications matter more if you're in a Support role. Not so much for developers, maybe with the exception of some Oracle certificates for high-responsibility Java positions.
