Creating an Android app starts with a well-defined goal and awareness of device variety. Outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping key user journeys early ensures the initial release stays focused and minimizes rework as the app evolves.

Once the foundation is set, focus moves to a consistent UI, performance, and compatibility across OS versions and screen dimensions. Robust state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration after publishing on Google Play.
