Starting Android app development requires a well-defined product objective and awareness of device variety. By outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping core user flows early, you keep the initial release focused and minimize rework as the app evolves.

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