When I was just starting to learn Java, I wrote in a notepad (Notepad2) and collected everything myself through javac and the command line, knowing that there were different IDEs and so on.
I think there was some sense in this. And in the IDE, you still write. Try without an IDE in the first couple.

In order to start learning, an IDE is not needed and will be superfluous. You need an editor + command line.

IDEA Community Edition. I worked on large projects using both Eclipse and NetBeans, I haven't discovered anything better than IDEA yet.

You won't find anything better than Eclipse to start with, seriously.

I started relatively recently. Worked in both Eclipse and NetBeans. Stayed on the last one. But this is my subjective opinion. In general, I strongly advise you to read all the comments on this article:

Non-trivial, and not quite an IDE: Processing - mainly graphics and interactive programming, an add-on over JAVA. On the one hand, something interesting will quickly turn out, on the other hand, this is, in general, JAVA.

I started with Netbeans - I was quite satisfied, it completely solves all the tasks of the IDE, especially at the initial level it completely covers all the needs. For large projects, too, just right. Then I didn’t write for a while, and then I needed to write for android. It turned out that there is a plugin for eclipse - well, without hesitation, I applied it - everything is also beautiful and neat (but I didn’t write large projects on it, but for a start it’s quite). As a result, even to work on the pearl, I now switched to eclipse.
So it doesn't matter where to start. Try one project on one, another on another. And then figure out what you like best.
And from the books - read Schildt, it’s quite okay.

I use Intellij Idea, but for a beginner I recommend NetBeans. I used it myself in the first courses, I was satisfied.

I also started learning Java. Chose between Eclipse and NetBeans. I stopped at the last one, because for an initial acquaintance with java it is the very thing. And then when there is experience, it will not matter what to work in.

I advise you to spend money on IDEA. IMHO the best IDE for java. Android tools available. Personal license <200$. There is a community edition - free

I started learning Java with IntelliJ IDEA, but I couldn't figure it out, I didn't have enough knowledge. Installed NetBeans and was very happy. A lot of tips and a user-friendly interface, just the thing for a beginner.
Now I'm slowly moving to IDEA.

> 1. Will it be possible to use the android SDK on IDEA or is it only for Eclipse?
This is not entirely correct. You mean probably a plugin for eclipse, which helps to develop android programs. And for the idea, here is what was found in Google first:
www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/google_android.html

You can experiment with play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aide.ui
But there is no visual form builder, afaik.
But still a maliciously native tool, immediately on a combat course ;-)
