JS is for web client-side and for server-side (with node.js) development, that means one language everywhere. BTW with help of web frameworks like ionic (and others) it may be used for native mobile applications development. Java at most for Android application development but you can develop servers with java too. My opinion is - if you want to learn web development choose JS (in couple with CSS and HTML), if you want to build Native Android applications learn Java.

learn them one by one, you can differentiate them by your self.. the first one to start learning is java, when you are finished with it take JS. that's how they really are.

JS is easier to learn than java, but I find java more clever for some reason, I like to see things work in java

Their domain (area of use) is so different that you better determine what is more interesting for you. Web frontend (and some backend later too, and may be some scripting here and there) with JS or applications, desktop/enterprise, backend, Andrioid apps with Java.
