It depends on your knowledge of other languages. If you know C# or C++, Java is not that big issue.

Try to work through an Android app tutorial like this: http://www.vogella.de/articles/Android/article.html

I managed to write my first app as a c# developer with that tutorial

Answer 3

You can try the Wikibook on Java programming, available free online. This blog post lists the various pieces of Java you really need to know to get into Android development, with links to the corresponding Wikibook section.

Answer 5

Hi there. Since you say you only have experience in C, you should first read a bit about the OOP concepts in general because having a firm theoretical understanding of object-oriented programming is crucial to learning any OOP language (Java in your case, C#, Ruby..). For example, check this : http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/concepts/

Generally, for Java resources you should visit(The Site Formerly Known as java.sun.com).]

Best, Jas.
