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 journeys early keeps 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 OS versions and screen dimensions. Robust state management, prudent networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration following the Google Play launch.
