Starting Android app development involves setting a clear product goal and recognizing device variety. Defining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping key user flows early keeps the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

Once the foundation is in place, focus shifts to consistent UI, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen sizes. Robust state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting help support and iterate the app after it launches on Google Play.
