Kris,
Most of your answers on this forum are VERY helpful and VERY
accurate, but in this case I think you are wrong about what is
a reasonable expectation.
Many large companies have entire divisions devoted to selling
"support services", "consulting services", professional services",
etc. usually at pretty high hourly rates, and mostly to large
corporate clients. See:
- http://www.microsoft.com/microsoftservices/
- http://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/
- http://www.oracle.com/products/consulting/
However, you seem to be right that Google, Facebook, and others
haven't gotten into that business. At least, I didn't find any via a
couple quick Google searches, and no one in this forum is citing
the existence of any.
Charles, as a couple people have said, your best bet is probably
to hire a private consultant, and this forum may be a great place
to find one. I'd suggest you start by writing a detailed description
of your current problem, and see if anyone here can answer it.
Or post a job offer (is that an acceptable thing to do on this list?).
Or read the forum for a while, see who seems to be knowledgeable
and have a good temperament for problem-solving and for
teaching things to you, and e-mail them an offer. Or do a Google
search for something like "android consulting services".

Uhh.. No, this isn't possible...
Google solely develops the platform. They don't help individual
developers in any way other than occasionally responding to bug
reports or some "interesting" questions.
What leads you to believe that such a large company would act as a
consultancy? I doubt Facebook, Amazon, or Microsoft would do this
(throwing out other large companies with APIs) either..
If you have a lot of cash, you can contact an individual consultant,
who is probably as helpful as a google engineer..
