Is there any official Stack Overflow Android app?

Other than the Stack Overflow apps in Google Play which are nothing more than web browser type apps?

Why is the official Stack Overflow for Android app still not developed?

There is a real need for this app, since its not very user friendly to login from a browser on pc/tab/phone to view the questions & answers.

More importantly to get real time notification and increase portability.!!

Not one currently publicly available, but you can view what's available over on Stack Apps.

For read-only access, there's nothing preventing the community-built apps from providing the same level of functionality as the full site, but I don't know to what extent any of the available ones do.

Now that they've hired someone specifically for this job, the application is currently undergoing pre-release testing, and will be available sometime in the not-so-distant future. You can help test the application by following the instructions in that announcement.

  • Seemingly so, yes, though I don't personally know what that entails.
