I would recommend starting by learning Java outside of Android, at least the basics: -- classes and objects -- methods and data members -- 'static' and instance -- 'public' and 'private' -- 'extends' and 'implements' -- threads -- exceptions -- java.io.* classes -- java.util.* classes There are countless online resources (e.g., Wikibooks) for learning Java. Of the print books, _Head First Java_ historically has had the best reviews. Then, wade into Android. You can learn a bunch just from the tutorials and examples on http://developer.android.com. If you are interested in books, here's the current lineup of stuff in print: http://wiki.andmob.org/books -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android 2.0 Programming Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
