Basically, after the Sololearn basic java course, you can start learning android app development using android studio. If you take a good course, you can even learn Java and Android studio from scratch side by side.

Actually Android is combination of Java and XML so if you want to learn Android then u must have knowledge about both of these . Only core java is necessary for Android . After core java u can start learning Android

Try to learn basic OOP concepts using Java first, it's not that much hard. Also knowledge of XML will help you. Then google for a good Android tutorial to learn from scratch. You may also search for YouTube videos, it'll help a lot.

Current only for syntax & basic similarity. I think start now with android if java concepts is required stop and learn no more 5 min. Android now make own concepts, own principes, more mature no more deep knowledge java required ;)

Android App development can be learned side by side with Java but I'm very positive about learning Java before attempting to do Android development.

for the first, you should know what you want. Then, you will understand what you should learn. You'll never achieve the highest level of programming. If yes, you are Chuck Norris :)

i think it depends on you, because learning period never ends. So it depends on you how much is enough for you to develop android apps

As mentioned already, just go for it after the SoloLearn tutorial. The basics of the java Syntax are covered in the tutorial. You'll learn from upcoming questions and errors the most if you just begin writing programs. The first might be a simple Hello World app. In my opinion Learning by doing is the most straight-forward way to learn developing your own app. When it comes to more complexe questions like why are strings immutable or the like, just look for answers with a search engine or here at SoloLearn. Sometimes I can learn a lot when trying to write some code which proves something (i.e. that strings are immutable) Happy developing :-)

If you want to develop anything good I suggest you to start with basic Java from any of the tutorials on the web. After you know object oriented programming and how to use object to get the results you want, you can start developing android apps. It's pretty much the same but the basics have to be taught before going to android. I would recommend to learn from your mistakes and try to code and look for any vulnerabilities among the code that could lead to any error. also, if you are having problems doing that you can use any software to help you do that. I know one called Checkmarx. Anyway, good luck! Ben.
