Starting Android app development involves a well-defined product objective and awareness of device variety. Establishing the MVP, choosing an architecture, and outlining key user flows early helps keep the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app evolves.

Once the foundation is established, focus moves to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen sizes. Robust state management, thoughtful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting facilitate ongoing support and iteration after the Google Play launch.
