Starting Android app development involves a well-defined objective and awareness of varied devices. By outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping essential user journeys early, you keep the initial release focused and minimize rework as the app expands.

With the foundation set, focus moves to a consistent UI, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen dimensions. Robust state management, thoughtful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration after launch on Google Play.
