Good luck. One thing I can recommend is maybe you find a workplace that does something in an area you like.
You said you’re not truly passionate about android dev but you have a lot of experience and you’re good at it.
Maybe there’s a company doing something you like (like maybe you’re a fan of some sport and it’s major league has a job for android dev) or on a mission you resonate with. I’m sure being interested in the mission or product is just as important (for both parties - you and the employer) as being good at android dev. I feel like being a good dev is the baseline, and the rest is the icing.
Hopefully you find the right next job that is a good fit for you.

This is something I have been thinking and this sounds great. I will do that. But such jobs are mostly abroad (not in my geography) and it makes things tricky.
