If you learn Java first it'll probably make learning android easier. JavaScript has nothing to do with android. JavaScript is used to add interactivity in web design. Apart from having a similar name, they are completely different

From what Im hearing on the forum it sounds like its good to learn Java first. Anyone else in Android that can comment?

Like you, i was in the same situation where i wanted to learn android development but was not able to understand how things are working. So i decided to learning the basics of java. You need to understand OOP concept, about objects and how to initialize them and call them in another classes, etc. If you understand these basic concepts of java, you will start understanding more while developing android apps.

You do not have to learn the framework in java such as Spring framework and etc. Just learn how OOP works and about objects.

Hope it helps!

Happy coding!

Java and JavaScript are completely different. If you want to learn android it wouldn't be a bad idea to learn Java first since android uses a ton of it

I personally dived into just learning Android, to be honest it was tough but the series assumes you have no knowledge whatsoever.

Goodluck, If you need any help just ask.
