Starting Android app development requires a well-defined product objective and awareness of device variety. Outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping key user journeys early keep the initial release targeted and minimize rework as the app evolves.

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