So I am thinking of starting an application startup, so I got Treehouse and now I am starting Java, but I was on Android Development. I really think Java is frustrating and I am seriously thinking of quitting it. Should I quit, or should I stay. Should I switch to Android and skip Java? I cannot decide!

For the most part, you write Android applications in Java. If you're having trouble with the Java track, you can try starting the Android track (If I remember correctly, you will get a primer on Java as well) and just go between them. There are two different teachers with different teaching styles and that should help you learn better.
Learning to program is difficult and it's natural to get stuck often. I wouldn't give up on either, but just keep at both of them.
