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

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