Java philosophy which edition to read for android?

Question

Java

Somewhere I read that in the "Philosophy of Java" in the 4th edition a lot of useful things were cut out and there were no examples, on some forum I found something to read
-Bruce Eckel Thinking in Java (Russian translation of the 2nd edition or the original of the 4th)
-Steve McConnell - perfect code.
- Gang of four - Pattern design. (this is almost the ABC of OOP)
I read the book by A.N. Vasilyev but got stuck on ~ 100 page, namely on the constructors, I seem to be stupid :(

if only for android then it doesn't matter.
Read any book that will give you the basics and start writing code)) clean code and architecture is good, but practice is more needed.
You should know the patterns, but without experience you won’t figure out where to apply them, with clean code it’s even easier:
Give everything meaningful names
Fields and classes in camelCase, constants in under_score
Try to have no more than three levels of code nesting, if you put more in a separate method
Each the method must perform one action
This minimum is enough to get started and make your code readable.
