Starting Android development starts with a defined product objective and awareness of device variation. Establishing 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 is set, focus moves to a cohesive UI, 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 the Google Play launch.
