Starting Android app development requires a well-defined goal and awareness of device variety. By outlining the MVP, choosing a suitable architecture, and mapping essential user flows early on, the initial release stays focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

Once the foundation is set, focus moves to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen dimensions. Robust state management, prudent networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify support and iterations after the Google Play launch.
