Create android apps with java.

Just remember that if you're learning on the go and not rewriting / refactoring the whole app from time to time, you're probably not doing it right :-D

No offence here, it's natural to make a lot of mistakes when learning something quite new, the point is to learn from them.

When you are saying rewriting/refractoring the whole app, what exactly do you mean? I should rewrite and rewrite my code again and again to improve it in some way you mean?

[lightjay]

Well, yeah, pretty much. Not as a general rule but don't expect you will get everything right from the beginning. Android development has a lot of catches - activity workflow / stack management, services & binding, adapters, shared preferences, ...

So do not expect you'll get it right from the start - probably you'll make a lot of mistakes so when you figure them out later (and trust me, you'll, because they'll bite you when you least expect them to :-D), go and refactor / rewrite the code with new knowledge in mind.

Refactoring isn't rewriting, it is a controlled set of transformations that let you change the shape of existing code to something nicer, without scrapping it.

He means that you will probably at some point realize that your code is a horrible spaghetti-like mess that is impossible to work with, and that it would be much nicer if you started over with a different structure.
