It's very confusing honestly. If I wanted to apply for a job right now I've got 1 year professional iOS development experience and 2 years Android... So I don't really feel like a senior Android developer at all but junior positions are incredibly scarce.
Most places I've seen are asking for a lot more experience or just saying senior with "deep knowledge of Android framework"... Whatever that is supposed to mean.
Like are you asking me to know the exact implementation of the stock ArrayAdapter for ListView so that I can tell you why we'd need a custom one or are you looking for someone to debug Dalvik/kernal issues?
Like I can architecture good clean code (and have done so for personal projects as well as professional) but I still feel junior because it feels like junior should until be 4+ years of experience.

In my experience, both. They will hire for someone who knows every detail of one field, and once you're hired, put you to work on a 5-year-old bug queue for a technology you know nothing about.
