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

With the foundation set, focus moves to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and display sizes. Robust state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics and crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration after the Google Play launch.
