How would you learn Android programming?

Question

Java

I am a student passing exams who decided to connect his life with IT, namely, to become an Android developer. At the moment I have school experience in programming in C # in Visual Studio (mathematical methods, animation, working with databases, OOP basics, no more). For android, I started learning Java, until I noticed a fundamental difference (I have studied only 30 Devcoliry Java SE lessons so far). So, the question is how to most effectively move in your learning.
I studied lessons on Android programming channels: startandroid , devcolibry , Android School . Further, the training plan is something like this:
1) Learn Java lessons from Hexlet
2) Fix the basics on it with an Express course on a site with cats
3) Learn Android lessons from the same site with a cat
4) Alexey Goloshchapov's book "Google Android. Creating applications for smartphones and tablet PCs"
So far, the plan is something like this.
I ask experienced Developers to help a very novice programmer and set him on the right path, and not criticize.
PS developer.android.com do not offer (English does not allow)
PPS English in progress =)

Answer 1

Move to priority number 1 the position "English in progress".
Study primary sources (here developer.android.com) with a translator, dictionary, etc. I can't
code through
Everything else is a waste of time..

Answer 2

If there is an opportunity in your city, go as an intern, no, go freedancing)) they motivate money))

Answer 3

It is not necessary to study the abstract possibilities of the language and platform, it is necessary to solve practical problems.
You have to set goals for yourself and solve them. And not separate small tasks, but such that the result is a complete application. Moreover, this application should be interesting to you.
At first it will be simple, then more and more difficult.
First, install yourself and your friends, then move to the store :)

Answer 4

I would also recommend a book, you can read it in parallel with studying the site with a cat :)

And don't waste time on Goloshchapov.

Answer 5

For me, the best way was to take on a graduation project, which in turn was based on an android application, while not really having any experience with android.
