Creating an Android app starts by defining a definite product objective and recognizing the variety of devices. Clarifying the minimum viable product, choosing an architectural approach, and outlining key user journeys early helps keep the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

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