There's a bit of a joke about mobile dev interviews these days. A company with no experience in mobile dev will ask you if you've ever integrated analytics. A company with a mobile dev team will ask you to write a movie app with pagination and caching. An experienced company will ask about declarative UI and reactive programming.

"the api for doing this sort of stuff was very SQL like"

Android these days do it via Jetpack/Room. It's still SQLish, but much less room (heh) for typos and similar bugs, and it even does syntax highlighting for common mistakes.
