Starting Android app development involves a well-defined product objective and awareness of a range of devices. Establishing the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping essential user flows early keeps the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

With the foundation set, focus moves to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across OS versions and screen sizes. Robust state management, thoughtful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify ongoing support and iteration after the Google Play launch.
