Java - overwhelmed - start over and go Android?

I've been going through the Java track (after looking at many other tracks) and I have been stuck for a week now at Data Structures - I realize I could have look at other people's answers - but sometimes the foundation that's been laid just isn't strong enough.

Have others gone back to the beginning? I think I have not spent enough time reviewing each lesson.

My idea for now is to restart Java, make more thorough notes - and simultaneously go through the Android track for something fresh.

My ultimate goals are to focus on mobile app development (so Swift or Objective-C also) with a web app as a companion, necessitating a better knowledge of overall web tech, for the idea I am working on.

Java is fundamental to the development of Android. You could do both simultaneously, but it could get confusing if you run into issues with the Android track.
