Android is probably not the ideal language to learn how to program generally ~ there are many other languages better suited to that. I personally recommend VB.NET -- it's free and easy and structured very similar to Java, so most general knowledge acquired there will transfer easily back to Java. If you still want to try Android first, it would help to describe exactly what you want your program to do.
