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

Once the foundation is set, focus shifts to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across OS versions and screen sizes. Robust state handling, prudent networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify ongoing support and iteration after the Google Play launch.
