This question already has an answer here:

(I am aware that these questions are repeatedly asked.)

I want to start develop some simple apps for Android, I already know Java, Swing (probably not useful in this case) and have basic knowledge in Algorithms.

I would like to know where I should start when learning Android Development with my programming background, are there any good resources available?, I assume that Google Documentation, A good book and Course material from a good university would be preferable. Googles resources I know where to find, but what books are recommended? (A plus would be if they didnt explain Java from the ground up as I already have that knowledge, and just focus on the android/application specific parts.) and are there any good course material from some university around this book that is free to use?

(BTW is eclipse still the recommended IDE or should I go Android Studio instead? not that it matters that much.)

Thanks in advance.

Read the android FAQ on Stackoverflow: it contains plenty of interesting links in the developers section. – assylias 4 hours ago
if you have that background then learning by example is the best way , i had almost the same exp and after reading i realized learning using websites such as : code.google.com/p/android-examples and github.com/bmeike/ProgrammingAndroid2Examples is the better way and as for Eclipse , yes i do recommend it more than any other as already you android is based in java and your aware how does it supports java since years .. gd luck – user1283633 4 hours ago
