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

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