Probably all the basics, such as the:

while
do while
for loops 
if statements
try/catch blocks
exceptions
collections
Access Modifiers
...etc

and maybe tiny bit of the object oriented stuff as well, read about the 4 concepts.

That will be enough for logic, the rest is android specific stuff.

Hello Anil, Thanks for the reply. By 4 Concepts you mean the loop and statements?

No by 4 concepts i mean the 4 concepts of object oriented programming.

Which are:

Inheritance
Polymorphism
Abstraction
Encapsulation

Good thing is the java track on here has a course on java objects so they will teach you anyway :)
