Starting Android app development requires a well-defined product goal and awareness of the range of devices. Defining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping essential user flows early helps keep the initial release targeted and minimizes rework as the app expands.

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