Creating an Android app starts with a well-defined product objective and awareness of device variety. Outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping essential user flows early helps keep the initial release targeted and minimizes rework as the app expands.

Once the foundation is set, focus moves to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen dimensions. Robust state management, prudent networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting reduce maintenance effort and facilitate iteration after launch on Google Play.
