You go, Dvisionj! tinyang is right about the two things you need to learn: Java language and then Android platform. You don't need to learn Linux to do Android programming. You also don't have to study every Java subject there is (such as Swing or Servlets), just get comfortable with the language basics before moving on to Android.
