(Q) App Development Learning - General Questions and Answers

Where could I learn to develop android apps? I have some android experience, but I want to go further and develop apps. I'm currently in highschool, so you can guess my experience. Any books or websites that could help?

I have been trying to get into making live wallpapers myself. I have been asking everywhere about what I need to learn to make a live wallpaper. I have no idea where to start or what to learn. I have posted several threads and ask devs in the market to & no one wants to tell you anything about where to start or what to use. I really don't understand why no one wants to help, especially here on a Developers website. Hopefully we can get a Senior member to give us some good tips.

question as a beginner in programming

guys I've been watching tutorials for Java for days now, I'm still a beginner, when I say beginner I mean beginner.
So what I want to ask is should I continue watching tutorials for Java or should I jump to android tutorials because that's the purpose of me learning Java.
what do you think guys?

Watching java?
You won't really learn from that.
Start programming simple android apps from tutorials.
Try mixing functionality of different tutorials and iron errors and bugs out until it works.
For everyquestion or problem you have, stackoverflow usually has an answer.

I would start with Linux, since that is the basis for all android apps.
