Maybe you are not aligning yourself well, with Java Skills you have the following options:

Upworks
Remote

or

Building Shopify Apps with Storefront API
API + Client and sell the Project on Codecanyon

Unless your skills is not up to par to what recruiters are looking for, because sentiments aside if you do not have good quality level, you will most likely be over-looked so either build a personal project that can make money, My advise look at Upworks and think of a solution.

wish you all the best


Note

I have seen the app you built, my advise don't build such, they are not new and to easy build, something different like a platform

e.g

You have to build something that has value. e.g Maybe A Food Platform, or even an Android App that you generates content dynamically on the fly so in the backend when you determine the content type and all, you can render that in the client, that infrastructure is profitable and can be used for plenthora of things.

Don't build simple things, build complex projects that has value and can be bought, Look at TapCart, you can start small, build something that will help SME maybe even the Agric Farmers a platform to connect food people.

Sorry but my schedule is tight. The only way I can tutor anyone is through my diary and blog or videos. But Karleb and the rest will be a better guide.

Away from all these arguments,

For the Android guy, the first break is the hardest. It's not easy but it gets easier.

So I'll advice picking up a cross platform framework like React Native or flutter to help boost your chances.

I don't remember who said it here but everyones journey is different. It took me a year between when I started and when I got my first job.

Regardless, just keep at it.

It took tensazangetsu20 6 months to get his first gig.
It took spartan117 a paid internship program to land his first job
It took Danny Thompson 8 months to get his first job.
Eji Mudi who used work with Danny Thompson before he(Danny Thompson) joined Google started out with a 25k salary after his internship.
...

I doubt we can talk months these days. Would definitely take over a year nowadays.
But true, everyone's journey is different.
Just keep pushing!
