Starting Android app development involves a well-defined product goal and awareness of device variety. By outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping essential 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 sizes. Robust state management, thoughtful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting help sustain and iterate the app after its Google Play launch.
