Should I start with Java course then Android Development?

I want to start making some money and I'm willing to work hard for it. I just came back from a hiatus and this time I will make sure that I stay committed. My goal is to make android app and branch out to other things later on. Is learning Java to get the basic and moving on to android development the correct path.

*Can anybody give me an idea of what I should learn to earn money in the internet or a valuable skill that could earn me money in other way. I will focus on this later on when I finished with my android course because that is my main interest.

It is not estrictly necessary to start with Java before learning android develpment, you can start right away and figure out things by yourself, especially if you have a background with some other object oriented language. However if you are completely new to programming or don't now the basics of OOP it is possible that you have a hard time at the beginning, in that case you'll be better starting with a Java course. Build mobile applications certainly is a profitable skill so you can take advantage of it to make money,

If you are serious about wanting to make Android apps then yes, you should definitely do the Java course first. It is not a requirement, but it will help you a lot.
