Starting Android app development requires a well-defined goal and awareness of device variety. Outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping key user flows early keeps the initial release focused and minimizes later rework as the app evolves.

Once the foundation is set, focus shifts to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen dimensions. Robust state handling, careful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting help make the app easier to support and iterate after the Google Play release.
