Starting Android app development involves establishing a well-defined product objective and awareness of device variety. By outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping essential user journeys early, you keep the initial release focused and minimize refactoring as the app evolves.

Once the foundation is set, focus moves to UI uniformity, 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 deployment on Google Play.
