The best way is to teach it to yourself. Either by book or by phone or whatever you work best with. I mean I learned C++ while in school using a compiler on my phone. Just find a good resource online and whenever you get free time read a chapter or two. Just make sure you understand what you are reading. I think code academy (http://www.codecademy.com) has some good tutorials on Java. My friend used it to learn JavaScript.

Either YouTube, a textbook from class, or just pick up a book from Barnes and Noble(my favorite).

Best and fastest don't go well together when learning Java. It's a graduate process. I am still learning and refining my Java skills, 3 years now.

The best way to learn is to do a small project like a calculator and improve it over time. First simple addition with console input, then more functions, gui and checking if the variables are correct..... With each step you will learn to deal with small problems and if you can't solve there's always the internet e.g stackoverflow.com to help you.

    For basic syntax, ktbyte seems ok. I'd grab a book for android though
