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

Once the foundation is set, focus moves to UI consistency, performance, and cross-version and screen-size compatibility. Robust state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration after launch on Google Play.
