I would say start learning java and then when you're competent try doing some android stuff.. Android development is not for beginners
If you've never programmed, don't start with trying to develop for Android.
Get yourself familiar with the principles of object-oriented programming (there are a couple of books that can help with this, as well as online resources), and Java (same).
When you feel somewhat confident you can make something that works, you could then try to make something simple with the help of the Android SDK, just to get familiar with some features of Android. You can then start building on that with online tutorials etc.
This is not something that you can expect to do a small course on, you'll have to spend quite some hours reading, typing, compiling, and figuring out why that goddamned thing you just tried to implement doesn't work.
A another good resource are university websites. Most leave them open to the public and all have good powerpoints, code samples, and links to references.
I've been using libgdx for java, it is really cool you write the code once and if allows you to port it to windows, android and ios.
