discussions but i wanted to set
starting point not only for me but for
others who see this thread so that
they do not have to post question,Yet

professionally done

Answer 1

1. You need the android SDK (including emulator)
2. You should learn “android” as an operating system / middleware, but the applications are written in Java (using android SDK as well). The tutorials and documentation that are in the android developers’ site are pretty good and will give you the basics, but you should learn Java in order to create applications on android.

Unlike other “Documentation sites”, the android documentation is really really helpful and easy to understand for new-comers.

p.s. I am ignoring native code and C libraries in purpose.
