How do I agree on the scope of the project?
Start by discussing what you want the app to do. Write down all the features you need. Agree on what 'finished' means for each part of the project.
How should I set a timeline for the project?
Talk with the developer about how long each task will take. Make a schedule that fits both of your timelines. Be sure to include time for testing and small changes.
How can I ensure the Android app meets my quality standards?
Define what quality means to you. List out the performance benchmarks and user experience you expect. Plan to have regular check-ins to review progress and quality.
