Starting Android app development means defining a clear product objective and accounting for device variety. Establishing the MVP, choosing an architecture, and outlining key user flows early keeps the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app evolves.

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