Starting Android app development involves a well-defined product goal and awareness of device diversity. By defining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping essential user flows early, you keep the initial release focused and minimize rework as the app evolves.

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