There is no Android programming language. There is an Android platform. It uses the Linux kernel which in turn runs an OS which is derived from BSD UNIX. Google uses some of that but has replaced a lot too. It's being sued by Oracle over its use of Java in the system development kit. It is starting to look like Oracle, if it can prove anything, will not be able to prove enough substantive damage to justify the kind of monetary relief they were looking for. Thus if you want to program smartphones Java is a good choice. IOS, Apple's platform, is a BSD Unix by the way with no apologies. You are STRONGLY advised to study UNIX and C if you want to program for EITHER so you will understand what you are doing, and to understand Java.



My brother-in-law, who was an electrical engineer, taught at NYU during his last years. NYU actually does have some excellent courses. In point of fact though, you can literally walk around New York City (STILL) reading fliers on lampposts and pick up contact information for great courses on just about any subject. So call around for crash courses in UNIX (and yes that is what you want) and Java. Understand though, a course which covers both will have to leave out way too much to be helpful. Also, when you take the course they may cover Linux, which is not QUITE the same thing. Doesn't matter. You need it for the background anyhow.

Android is not a programming language. Android is a Google-developed operating system primarily used on mobile devices like phones and tablets.



Apps for the Android OS are written in Java.



If you want specifically to work with Android, you'll need to learn Java. If you just want a general introduction to programing, C/C++ would probably be a better place to start, as people tend to pick it up faster than Java.



Also... Unix is not a programming language, either. It's the operating system that Linux and MacOS are based on.

android is not a programming language, the android operating system uses java though, so you must learn java if you want to learn how to program for android. then you mutst learn how to program android applications with java

Android is not a programming language, it is a platform you develop for. Android apps are meant to be written in Java, but it is possible to use C or C++ with the Native Development Kit (NDK).



If you are new to Java, start here:

http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/



If you can already code in Java, start here:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html



If you want to use the NDK, but don't know C, get this book:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_C_Programming_Language_%28book%29



I don't have a good book recommendation for C++, sorry.



If you can code in C or C++ and want to use the NDK, start here:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html
