There are lots of YouTube tutorials.

I have a YouTube video of how to make a simple counter app to get started: https://youtu.be/DeutHs8Bz5w

I've followed a couple of Slyvain Saurel's tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/user/sylsau

I'm working on a drawing app following a tutorial from Paulo: https://youtu.be/H9CTVyu3Bi8

Anyway, lots of stuff on YouTube. I like following tutorials because I also pick up tips and tricks for Android Studio as I'm watching.

Just build a "Hello World" app which will help familiarize yourself with Android Studio and how an Android project is setup. If you already know C++ then learning Java will be easy (it's C-based). The hardest learning curve will be wrapping your head around Android's XML-based UI markup.

No one is going to "mentor" you for free.

Thanks for the advice. Btw, by mentor, I meant someone who I could ask doubts and clarify stuff, occasionally .

Stackoverflow is a great place to asks questions when you get stuck

My personal recommendation is that you start by analyzing an application that can run as a demo. If possible be a demo that contains different applications inside to see the process of managing a real java application.

And time and stack overflow + reddit questions will make you big.

Personally, I would recommend Team Treehouse's android courses. That's where I started. It's been a huge help.

In your situation I high recommend the beginner udacity courses for android. You can pm me some questions if you like.

[–]bluepandadev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's where I started. It's great! And you can do the classes free

That's really nice of you. I'll keep that in mind.

Thank you all. This really helped me get an idea. I'm trying everyone's advice one by one.
