To be honest, this application doesn't teach very much. You'll have a basic understanding but not a thorough grasp on Java. If you want, skip learning and go straight to Android. You can learn as you play I suppose, but I have personally found this route to be the least effective. You'll get confused by everything you do and eventually drop it, most likely. I suggest taking what you know and practice practice practice. Little applications. Look online for more tutorials, Bucky's Java tutorials are a great place to start, or buy a couple books. It's entirely up to you, but I can assure you, these lessons won't have taught you much if that's all the experience you have

Christian is mistaken actually. Java is used for Android. Android uses a slightly different version of it but you'll want to learn Java if you want to develop Android applications. Learn Java basics first. Then after you have a good understanding, move into Android development.

Just complete the very first lesson and you'll know what Java's good for...(platform independent programming language for all platforms that support Java (Windows, Mac,...))

Well, I guess we were talking criss-cross as you can't run Java apps on Android devices for the reason you provided, James (that's how I understood his question). Android is based on Java, of course. I should have said that. ;)

Android doesn't have a JVM, correct. So a Java file created for your computer won't directly run on Android. Android is still Java though, and you'll just need the proper SDK for your IDE to have the data converted to an APK. But the coding isn't much different. You'll learn the differences when you move into Android, really not that bad once you understand Java.

No as Google doesn't support Java.
