Is high school mathematics necessary for an android developer?

What mating is required for the development of android applications. I can say that I will not write the complex logic of the application, just as I will not write the implementation of complex algorithms, especially if these are still my bikes. I intend to write an application using ready-made tools.
The reason for my question: before that, I wanted to become soft engineering, but then I changed my mind because my knowledge of the school curriculum of mathematics is 0-1. And I got the impression that android developers also need math analysis and analytical geometry.

This is a terribly hackneyed question that is asked here once a week, at least.
The "programmer" does not need mathematics, only if he pulls the layout on Wordpress. In any other area, you may sooner or later face a task that requires knowledge of geometry, trigonometry, mathematics. statistics, etc. The programmer does not choose what tasks he will solve, he must be ready to solve any, and if he is not ready, he will be stuck as a junior forever.
Well, think ten times - if you have problems with mathematics, there will be problems with programming.
update:
The Toaster is full of math questions from programmers. Endless "tell me the formula", "how to calculate the probability", "how to calculate the trajectory", even much more elementary ones, like calculating percentages or something about the accuracy of data types. If the authors had mastered a school course in mathematics (by mastery I mean the actual ability to apply it, and not training for tests, for example), most of these questions would not exist at all. And some would not exist if the authors had mastered institute mathematics.
The notorious idea that everything should be found by searching in five minutes and used, also breaks down in practice that if a person does not know what some things are called, he will not be able to write the request correctly, and understand what exactly he is found. Such "googlers" always ask questions "I found something to solve my problem, help me redo it, I don't understand." And the supporters of this idea, who "clearly demonstrate the opposite" themselves, as a rule, are from among those who own the subject area, so their examples are simply incorrect due to the fact that they have this knowledge.

Over the past 18 years, I have programmed in 15 languages ​​and in a variety of areas - from microcontroller firmware to EJBs in distributed medical systems. The only time I needed math was when I was trying to get into machine learning. Surely it is required even in game development, but I did not try to meddle there.
But my opinion is modest, I will quote better than Bragilevsky

No , mathematics is required mainly in neural networks, but the mathematics that googles in 2 clicks. For the rest of the sphere, only one is enough))
Mathematics has a different purpose - to develop logic, thinking and mathematics in you. mentality. It helps a lot when working with code. Don't memorize formulas, but solve problems, that's how I learned.

University mathematics for an android developer is needed in 2 cases out of 3 (or even more often).
If the task requires mathematical calculations in the code - of course, it is needed.
If you are only writing an interaction interface (API requests and data exchange with server functionality), then no.
