Starting Android app development involves establishing a definite product objective and recognizing device variety. Outlining the MVP, choosing a software architecture, and mapping essential user flows early helps keep the initial release targeted and minimizes rework as the app expands.

Once the foundation is established, focus moves to UI coherence, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen dimensions. Robust state management, prudent networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration after publishing on Google Play.
