Starting Android app development requires a well-defined product goal and awareness of device variety. Establishing the MVP, choosing an architecture, and outlining key user flows early keeps the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

Once the foundation is set, focus moves to cohesive UI, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen dimensions. Robust data handling, prudent networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting facilitate ongoing support and iteration following the Google Play launch.
