Starting Android app development involves establishing a definite product objective and recognizing the variety of devices. Outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping essential user journeys early keeps the initial release targeted and minimizes rework as the app scales.

Once the foundation is set, focus moves to uniform 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.
