Check Head First Java book if you want to have a hard copy you can check any time
Are you using that to learn java? Is working for you?

In Spanish i use Oracle Java 7, it's great
Get all the documentation you need, on line straight from the horse's mouth.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index.html
Sun originally developed Java, before Oracle bought them out.
The "Java resources" panel to the right contains some pretty useful stuff.
Like C# and the .NET framework, Java has thousands of objects you can use, to the point of almost total confusion.
You will need to keep one eye on the API definitions, unless you have a specific IDE that is aware of the version that you are trying to code, and can prompt you for the parameters to methods etc.
It is currently only in English, Chinese or Japanese.
Tutorials: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/index.html
Bruceeckel.com. the best

IMO it would be better to buy a book that teaches Java... it is not a simple language so you'll have to study it very hard
Use roseindia website. Java mentals and genious group there. All tutorials are there.
Use console dont use IDE for beginning. Good luck.

Also this site here is great! I've taken a look at it and it teaches the basis of the language, very well done.

Google is my master for programming.
Sounds cheesy, but I am serious. I usually look for ebooks and youtube tutorials through google. I think someone above has already suggested this, but boston tuts is great. Other than that, I use stackoverflow for any questions i have. they are a very professional community that is able to provide very clear and detailed answers to any problem you are having.
Just make sure that you program while you learn. Just watching 3 hours of youtube tutorials will not help you. You will definitely have to spend a considerable amount of time actually writing programs and debugging them(80% of that time will be you banging your head on the keyboard : P )
Stackoverflow good for android too. Main is usage of our own brains. Even oracle may not help in many cases.

it depends on which part of android you want to develop java is a very small part of android, basically apps... xml is pretty much everywhere... but i would recommend to study C because you need it for kernels and many other stuffs
Look I am not interested in kernel right now but want to develop apps & port mods too ? Any idea what I should focus on ?

Java it is.
But learning C won't be a time waster because its the kindergarten class when a student wants to become a programmer. But for the sake, learning Java is more than enough to develop apps.

You can develop full apps with java and xml for the layout. Being familiar with linux is also a must, since android is just a linux flavor.
http://www.thenewboston.com/ is a great place for a beginner or guru. Tons of video java lessons as well as android development.
Linux has helped me with the file system. Although I still have alot to learn before I am any kind of guru.

everything of importance on android phones is written in java.
But the kernel and file system is Linux based. You have more on your phone that you wouldn't think you would have on a phone.

Yes, the OS is linux based, however all the apps are java based.

The Android platform is basically a linux flavor. It contains more then a linux the file system and kernel. Yes exactly what I posted, Java may be used in android development. That is not the only language, There are a few others including C.
Thanks for claryfing the different programming languages and their relevance to the cell phone structure and android OS.
Java and linux are both important for exploiting and developing in other words.

Just go straight into java, that's what I did, and I had zero programming experience just like u. Look at those video tutorials I posted, those are the best videos to learn java from scratch. Wayyyy better than any books on java. Trust me.

For editor I used netbeans. It's great for learning.
I have very little programming experience too, but I would like to learn how to make or customize widgets. Do I have to learn java or is it javascript to do it? How do I get started? For example, i'd like to make a clock timer widget. HOw do I get started. Sorry to jump onto your thread but it seemed related. Thanks.

guys how much knowledge do you need in java before you can create an application on android?
Write a HelloWorld application.
Code:
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}

If you want to learn how to create applications that display 2D graphics you should look into the java.awt package, and read about the java.awt.Graphics class.

Obviously you need to know the basics to do advanced things, that's why they're called the basics. You use the basic things all the time when doing advanced things.

Also found on xda-university. But yes, you are going to need to get thirsty to read. Then learn how to use that knowledge to make something. If you need help there are plenty of android development mailing lists and forums out there, including the ones here on xda.
The guides by Adam are pretty good! I also recommend them.

Having made a few apps myself, I can say this for sure : all you need is maybe a week or two. Android app development needs java and XML. The XML part is pretty easy and can be learnt on the go. The java part, well if you know data types, functions syntaxes and commands syntax, it's sufficient to make a basic app

you need at least basic skills to make it look good, or you can use presets and plugins and make it look like crap

It seems like you have some misunderstanding here. It's quite easy if you know what you're doing just a little time consuming in some cases.
And you need to improve your Google skills too as I learned from Google only. There's a lot of information out there.....only if you know where you're looking. No one's born with this knowledge, you have to search and learn yourself.
