Starting Android app development involves a well-defined product objective and awareness of varied devices. Outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping essential user journeys early keeps the initial release targeted and minimizes rework as the app evolves.

Once the foundation is established, focus moves to UI uniformity, performance, and cross-version and responsive compatibility. Robust state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration after publishing on Google Play.
