Starting Android app development requires a well-defined product objective and awareness of device variety. Clarifying the MVP, choosing an architecture, and outlining key user journeys early on keep the initial release focused and minimize rework as the app expands.

Once the foundation is established, focus shifts to a consistent UI, efficiency, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen dimensions. Robust state management, thoughtful networking, and dependable analytics and crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration after posting on Google Play.
