So I know Java Script, atleast enough to make a decent app. I want to have a beautiful design, and I feel like you cant do this in Android studio, or I'm just not really sure where to start for creating a good looking app. I have experience with web design and I know how to code in nice details, is it the same with Java? Any answers would be great

Design work in Android is not the same exactly as it is in web design. However, having a solid front-end design background certainly helps, in my opinion, with doing design in Android. There are several portions of courses in the Android track that cover design. I would recommend look at the Ribbit app and the Weather app specifically. If you drill down in those courses you will find design specific segments.

Treehouse TeacherI have not found any that seem to be great. I'm sure there are some out there but thus far I haven't spent too much time beating my head against the wall during the design phase of my projects, so I haven't looked too hard.
You may browse through some of the options over at Android Arsenal. They generally have pretty good and innovative stuff.
