Answer 1

If the changes you are planning to make in q2android app are simple enough and you know what you are changing then sur007 has captured all that you need. Else it's a job for someone hands on with Android development.

Another big warning for you: The app is over 4 years old , which means you have to carefully choose API and Sdk Mix/Max versions.. managing version support can be hectic even for seasoned android developers - so be prepared to face backward compatibility and API depreciated issues

All the best!
