Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 17,305 PointsLearning Java for Android Apps.
I wanted to learn Android development, and an important requirement is to learn Java. I searched for the Java tracks and started with Learn Java of which I am halfway through now. Tonight while I was scrolling through tracks, I discovered that there is another java track called Java Web Development. Now my question is, should I also do Java Web Development before I go to Android Development, or jump it? Another question that worries me also is, how should I measure that I now know enough java to tackle Android? Should I be a pro first in Java before going to Android, or, I can go anytime as soon as I can recognise classes, objects, arrays and conditional statement even if I am not able to write a java app? I hope my question is not confusing.
