+1  A: 

All the tutorials in the SDK? It comes with a boatload of samples for pretty much every part of the OS. If you're looking for something more specific, you should say so.

I am new and I am starting with the tutorials said above. I am also reading through the guide but sometimes it can be vague. I read off and on (and highly recommend) Professional Android Application Development. I also heard that Sam's Teach Yourself Android Application Development in 24 Hours is a great book and this one is based either Android 2.1. I'm sure both of the books have tutorials to move you forward in learning how to develop.

The collection of 3 books by Mark Murphy have excellent examples and tutorials. They do cost $40USD as an ebook set but I think that if you're going to get into Android develepment then it's WELL worth it. They've been brilliant for me. They're much gentler and easier to understand than the fairly minimal official tutorial material.
