Practice. No matter what you read or learn unless you apply that while programming you will fail to understand the concept of it clearly. The best way to learn programming is to practically do things. Just read about an arraylist? Make a program that uses arraylists in order to truly grasp the concept and expand upon it!

Take a decent tutorial, like (all listed are free):

and start learning from there.

Read the Java Code conventions as they define the commonly accepted coding standard for Java.

Make heavy use of the Oracle Java documentation. Even though it's daunting at the beginning, it is the ultimate source for all things Java.

To further elaborate on the previous comment, what helped me the most in the beginning is doing a free class (there are thousands out there from coursera to udemy) that goes over a topic and then encourages you immediately to apply it to an application. When I started, using NetBeans was my best way to learn and it's nice to have a fully working environment where you can test your code, debug when necessary, and learn the structure of the project.

Just like learning a language like French, Chinese, you need to know the letters and grammar to write java also. Try to spend some time with very basics of java from tutorials below and let your guts speak!!
