Starting Android app development involves a well-defined product objective and awareness of device variety. By outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping essential user journeys early, the initial release stays focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

Once the foundation is set, focus moves to UI coherence, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen dimensions. Robust data handling, careful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration after launch on Google Play.
