A free beginner Android development course from Udacity, co-designed with Google, that teaches building Android apps with Java and core Android building blocks such as activities, fragments, layouts, and intents.
Commenters call it a free, thorough beginner introduction to Android development that is very good and well explained, though some material is now outdated.

I highly suggest you use Udacity's courses. I found their app/webpage to be misleading on many occasions ;And that's why I'm also telling you that their Android:Basics course is completely free , and you don't have to buy the Nanodegree to access the courses.
If you want to learn, from the ground up I would recommend udacity. Do not opt for the nano degree, all android learning courses are free and so far I found the instruction quality top notch. Click here to get a sequential list of courses to get you started to learning android. list of courses
University of Helsinki's MOOC. Best free java course ever. You can also learn from a book. Plenty of good books for Java. I'm currently reading Core Java after having done the MOOC to learn about stuff that wasn't covered like Concurrency. Then if you're interested in Functional Java, read…
I took the Udacity Android beginners course which was great, and you can do it for free, but a lot of the material is now very outdated. I'm currently working through the Flutter and Dart course by Maximilian S (not sure on his surname), which covers Android and iOS in a single language (Dart)…
Congratulations on starting out! Learning to program is quite an adventure. Everything is subjective and there are many differing opinions on how to start, but I'll share some tips from my experience and perspective. 1. The particular language you learn is important, but not as important as you…
Like people are saying, Android programming is not exactly Java programming, but if your goal is ultimately to make Android apps, you should just jump in. You'll still learn a bunch of Java(along with a ton of Android framework stuff), and you can always do a java tutorial simultaneously. It might…
Since you've already started with java, give Android a try. I find having something that you can hold in your hands and interact with is a lot more exciting than printing results to a console. Having a project in mind, an app you want to build can really help keep you focused. There are some great…
The most important part of any mobile application is the idea. Implementation is merely breaking it down into the different UI screens, deciding how the user navigates the screens to get his work done, and just linking the different parts together. Take a couple of days off or even a week. Park…
I'd check out Udacity, it has free android video courses. See "Android Basics".
Udacity has free beginner Android development courses. I would start with the Android Basics courses.
Don't worry about the prereqs, just do the Udacity beginner Android course, maybe do the Java course if you don't know any Java. If you complete a bunch of tutorials on this level eventually things will start to sink in a make sense, then you can take the things you do in tutorials and apply them…
It's a $25 fee to be able to upload your apps on the play store. But the good thing is that it's a one time fee, so you can upload many apps after that. But if you're just starting out, you can make apps and just install it onto your own device, using Android Studio to write your code. It's a…
Thank you for your response! :D Android for beginners course recommended to learn those things before doing the android developer nanodegree which is here: https://www.udacity.com/course/android-developer-nanodegree--nd801 although the nanodegree does not list it as a pre-requisite specifically…
Android is just pretty complex. I'd recommend the course by google on Udacity. It's pretty goofy and some of these things aren't what I'd consider best practice even after couple weeks of playing with android, but they do excellent jobs of explaining (and guiding you through projects) when it…
I would recommend the Google Android Course on Udacity https://www.udacity.com/course/ud853 I didn't do the TreeHouse Android track (but did some others so I kinda know how the courses are built up) and I never liked all these coding in browser courses (Treehouse, Codecadamy, Codeschool,..) I…
