I was curious, because I don' t see a track for Java. I'm just making sure that even with the little bit of java that the android track touches on, that it is enough to start programming with And. SDK. Thx :)

I took a Java class at school that focused on desktop apps and started trying to make Android apps and I found that Java for Android is super different. I ended up having to learn a ton of new stuff before I was able to make anything.
So basically to answer your question, don't worry about learning Java unless you wanna be a Java developer. If you wanna be an Android Developer learn Android Development because Java is just one tool out of many you will use.
