Starting Android app development involves a definite product objective and awareness of device variety. Outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping essential user flows early helps keep the initial release targeted and minimizes rework as the application expands.

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