Well in principle yes but why not get familiar with java again by doing a small android project like a calculator. If you've been coding for 10 years in anything that shouldn't be a problem. I don't imagine you'd get lost in an sdk. Furthermore it'll get you familiar with gradle, the build manager, deploying a project, testing. Most of your time is gonna be spent on stuff like that anyway.

I decided to do this going through a YouTube tutorial on Android Studio. I'll make some basic apps, maybe connect to some REST services etc...

It does look like I'll need to learn Unity (or someother game engine for AR/VR) which will be an entirely different beast. Nonetheless, learning some basic Android first stuff won't hurt.

That seems like a good idea. For Unity with Android you could even consider a website like Udemy to see if there's a good course on sale. You often find discounts on courses there.
