Best Java book? - Java for Android App Development

Hello, I would like to learn Java in order to make apps for Android, I dont know anything about coding so Im starting from scratch.
What book would you suggest me to get first? Is it necessary to learn java before starting to make apps for android?
Thanks in advance!

The best way of learning Java is the internet, not a book.

Oh come on... Are you befit of basic common sense? If you want to learn Android programming then search for Android tutorials on Google. Android Java is slightly different from standard Java anyways as the main class where your code goes is onCreate rather than main.

Basic to Advanced Tutorials

I am trying to learn how to write android applications so that I can make my own for classes and such. Do any of you bright minds have any suggestions on where to go to get some really good tutorials/reading material? I really appreciate it.
I've already gone through a few of the tutorials on the official android website, but I don't fully understand some of it.

There are plenty of Java Tutorials in the Internet. I guess you should read them first. Im also pretty sure that there are some tutorials about roms on XDA. You can find all of it just by using the search tool.

If you get going on and start baking stuff, always remember to respect other people's work. Don't kang from others without giving the author well earned credit.
if you want to make best rom, then start using google to find tutorials for cooking roms...

If you don't even know how to search for the needed info yourself without asking, you've got ZERO chance of making the "best ROM".
Most "developers" are just "modding" or replacing stuff with winzip. If you like stock but with some other theme and couple of mods this is your way togo. I myself am not very fond of this method an skip these roms. Personally im keeping my note stock till an official MIUI or CM rom arrives.

You just started programming?
This app is way too complicated for a beginner. Do easier things first.

Thanks for the reaction.:thumbup:
Yeahh its a way too complicated as you just said.
I'll start with some simple apps first.
When I've finally get the knowledge about it ,ill just begin with this app.
The final thing I must learn is how to program(That's a must)
I though that Eclipse is just as easy as VB.Net :banghead:

Free Firefox OS device

Hi guys I saw somewhere that if I build apps for the firefox os I will get a geeksphone keon for free.So I am going to start app development if this is true.
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
You'd be abusing that opportunity if all you want is a free phone out of it. That offer is there for developers who need official Firefox OS hardware to perform hardware tests on their application they are developing which can't be accurately tested via a SDK such as Camera, GPS or NFC capabilities.
If you are interested in App development for Firefox OS then I suggest you test your apps via the Firefox browser on your PC using this addon:

You maybe are right but I don't want the device for nothing.I want it because I want to test some apps that I coded which can't be tested via Simulator or something.It needs real hardware so a real device.And if you don't know I hate making something just to get something free.I make apps,ROMs or kernels just because I love Android and everything around of it.No offense and as I said before you have right but first make sure for the personality of someone or just stop telling b*ll****s.Sorry for my bad words but this is how I felt when I read this!

good luck with that
You are right, I did get a Geeksphone Peak for free (or for developing app for them).
But that was at an hackathon that a company here arranged, so you might have to find one of those.

Go to http://lmgtfy.com/ and enter your keywords. Then click on search and it will create your link.
Well, I never read Head First Android Development, I read Head First Java. So I have always recommended the Java book, not the Android one. (That doesn't mean that it is bad. The concept should be the same. )
Do you like it?
