Starting Android app development requires a well-defined product objective and awareness of device variety. Quick definition of the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping essential user flows early keeps the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

Once the foundation is established, focus moves to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen dimensions. Robust state management, meticulous networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration after publishing on Google Play.
