Starting Android app development involves a well-defined product objective and awareness of device variety. Establishing the MVP, choosing an architecture, and outlining primary user flows early helps keep the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app evolves.

Once the foundation is laid, the emphasis moves to consistent UI, performance, and compatibility across OS versions and screen sizes. Reliable state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting help the app support and iterate more easily after the Google Play release.
