Starting Android app development involves a well-defined product objective and awareness of a diverse range of devices. By outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping key user flows early, you keep the initial release focused and minimize rework as the app evolves.

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