Experienced Android Developer for Cricket App

We are looking for an experienced Android developer to build a professional Cricket Live Score Android application from scratch. The app should have a clean, modern UI and be designed with scalability in mind so additional leagues and tournaments can be added easily in the future. The project includes Android app development, backend development, admin panel, database, API integration, and deployment support. Scope of Work 1. Live Score Integration Integrate a Cricket Live Score API with support for: Live Scores Live Match Updates Upcoming Matches Completed Matches Full Scorecard Ball-by-ball Commentary (if available) Match Info Playing XI Match Odds (if API supports) Pitch Report Venue Information Toss Details Match Results Series & Tournaments 2. Manual Live Score Update Sometimes third-party APIs delay score updates. Need an admin feature that allows manual updates for selected matches. Admin should be able to update: Runs Wickets Overs Current Batsmen Current Bowler Innings Status Toss Match Result Commentary Match Notes Match Status Manual updates should immediately override API data whenever required. 3. News Module Need a complete news publishing system.

Admin Panel Need a complete web-based admin panel. Features: Secure Login Dashboard Match Management Manual Score Updates News Management Push Notifications Advertisement Control API Configuration User Statistics Match Visibility Controls 5. Website Backend & API Optimization (Very Important) This project must not fetch live score data directly from the cricket API inside the Android app. Instead, use the following architecture: Cricket Live Score API │ ▼ Website Backend (Cache + Database) │ ▼ Android App Requirements Server fetches data from the Cricket API. Store live data in the website database. Android app fetches data only from our own backend. Implement intelligent caching to reduce API usage. Refresh intervals should be configurable (e.g., every 30–60 seconds depending on the match state). Thousands of users should be able to use the app without increasing third-party API requests. This requirement is essential to minimize API costs and improve scalability. 6. Advertisement Integration Integrate Google AdMob.
