I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2017
Interview
Interview process was very streamlined and well defined before hand from the HR.
I was reached out to by HR from Facebook and upon agreeing for a specified date for a initial phone screen verbal interview from HR person. On the day of verbal phone screen round where a set of questions were posted which were easy to answer if you knew the concepts of Android pretty well and how it worked and so forth. I have copy pasted the questions from one of the previous posts here and luckily i was asked the same questions. Not sure who got the exact questions out here but thanks for the help. Right answers are also marked below the options mentioned.
Once i cleared the initial verbal phone screen, then i had a phone technical coding interview with one of their engineers from Seattle WA,
Interviewer asked me what is difference between Activity and a Fragment ?
Which i did answer to him satisfactorily .
Next he moved on to the coding question using the screen share tool which they had shared initially before after first phone interview.
The phone technical question is posted in the last.
Even though i did not selected to onsite interview which i did expect to get it despite doing so well. But anyways if this post helps to whom so ever who is applying for Android Developer role, please follow through and get to the destination. May the force be with you .

Interview
Initial call with the recruiter, pretty standard on this one.
Once it is confirmed that I was going to move forward to the Online Screening, the recruiter shared resources to prepare mostly from the meta career site, which is quite comprehensive.
In the coding stage, I managed to solve just one question. Based on the feedback, that was the reason of not moving forward.
