Starting Android app development involves a well-defined goal and awareness of device variety. Clarifying the MVP, choosing an architecture, and outlining key user journeys early keeps the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app evolves.

Once the foundation exists, focus moves to visual consistency, speed, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen dimensions. Robust state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration after the Google Play launch.
