Starting Android app development requires a well-defined product objective and awareness of device variety. Establishing the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping essential user flows early helps keep the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

Once the foundation is established, focus moves to consistent UI, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and display sizes. Robust state management, thoughtful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration after launch on Google Play.
