Total beginner wanting to make an android app.

Where do I start? Java? Do I need to go through every topics in Java subject before moving on to Android app development? Need some insights from professionals. :)

you can definitely start with the java track (https://teamtreehouse.com/tracks/learn-java). The last two courses may be about stuff that is external to android, but demonstrates ideas that might still be relevant in android. The java track isn't too long.

The tracks put everything in logical order for you, so follow them instead of selecting individual courses on your own. However, since you're a beginner, I would very, very, very highly recommend you to start with the Java track before moving on the the Android track. It'll make it much easier for you as it explains programming concepts more clearly. The Java track will be more boring than the Android track, but again you'll have a much easier time with the Android track after you've finished the Java track.
