starting to program android apps

[Guest David Roper]

I want to start programing android apps but have no previous java experience. I know a tiny amount of visual basic (enough to make a calculator) and a even smaller amount of c#.

I was wondering what books there are that i could buy to learn from, and what books i would need. For example, would i need a java book to learn that then learn to make android apps? Or is there a beginners android development book that is for learners with no java experience?

thanks
