Starting Android app development requires a well-defined product goal and awareness of device variety. Establishing the MVP, choosing an architecture, and outlining key user flows early keeps the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

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