The hello android and the notepad tutorials are good and the step by step instructions for the eclipse plug in installation all work fine. I needed 1-2G of memory to get the emulator going. The source code for the API demo is in the SDK and you can with a little effort aim eclipse at it and use it as foundation code.

Right now I am actually learning Java to correct questionable habits in a good way with Karel the Robot Learns Java

http://people.reed.edu/~jerry/121/materials/karellearnsjava.pdf

I must say, that for one challenged by speed of comprehension, Karel the Robot Learns Java seems like just the ticket. It rocks.

There may also be dialects in the way people discuss code and coding standards. After looking all over the Web for online Java material... Stanford CS106A seems like the closest dialect to the Android Java I see spoken here, so the text for that is due any day and you may find residual coursework on the Web as well.

Hope this helps,

ed
