Nope.

It can't. You don't need to guess - you can know for certain by reading the 
documentation.

For example,
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/methods.html
"the rules for field names apply to method names as well, ..."

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/variables.html#naming
"... name can be any legal identifier — an unlimited-length sequence of 
Unicode letters and digits, beginning with a letter, the dollar sign "$", 
or the underscore character "_""

You need to know Java in order to use it for Android development.

As for "<init>", GIYF.
