Starting Android app development involves a well-defined product objective and awareness of device variety. Outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping essential user journeys early helps keep 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 OS versions and screen resolutions. Robust state management, prudent networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration post-Google Play launch.
