Hi Sanj, I was also in this same predicament a few days ago. Desperately wanted to learn Android programming, but knew smatterings of Java code.
What I did was the following :- -------------------------------------------------- Purchase "Sams Teach Yourself Java In 21 Days" Purchase "Java Generics and Collections" (Note: Android heavily uses Generics so you need a firm grasp on them) Purchase "Hello Android" There are also lots of bookmarks and tutorial sites ready to read and digest once you know your way around the basics of Java. Last week I got the Sams book, on Saturday I deployed my first Android application to the emulator. I still have lots more to learn but I am looking forward to the journey.
