Starting Android app development involves a well-defined product objective and awareness of device variety. Clarifying the MVP, choosing an architecture, and outlining key user flows early helps keep the initial release targeted and minimizes rework as the app expands.

Once the foundation is set, focus moves to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across OS versions and screen dimensions. Robust state management, prudent networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration after the Google Play launch.
