Android is very well documented and easy to learn. I would recomend downloading an ebook to learn the basics then rely on the official documentation. I learned android programming by starting a project I was interested in, this kept me motivated to learn. It only took me about a month (that is, about 48 hours, as I only had a few hours an evening) to learn both java programming and android development.

"Android Application Development for Dummies" is a pretty good book for getting started, but after learning the basics, I would recommend you find a few books and skip through them, learning and applying the parts that relate to your project.
