319 PointsNeed advice regarding which tracks to focus on to become android app developer!
Hello! I'm a beginner programmer and had some experience with java and python but I would like to start fresh and focus on tracks that will allow me to become android app developer which focuses on building app to put on google play store, I was wondering if you guys could point me to the right tracks( from beginner to advance), assuming I have no experience at all :)

Treehouse TeacherHey Jirat!
If you're completely new to programming, then you should start by learning Java. The Android framework will make a lot more sense if you come into it with a good understanding of Java (or another object-oriented programming language).
I'd recommend taking these 3 Java courses before getting started with Android:
Once you've got some Java knowledge under your belt then jump on over to the Android Tracks:
Hope that helps!

Treehouse TeacherYou should use Android Studio. It's based off IntelliJ IDEA but specialized for Android.
