I want to start learning Android programming. I was wondering what is the best book for beginners on android programming?

Go to Google's Android development web site, download/install the android emulator, learn Java (Android's Dalvik is java with a different compiler/virtual-machine), and get some Java programming books. There are tonnes on Amazon.

You need to know Java, if you don't then go and learn it then come back.

If you know Java, then perhaps reading one of these books will be suficient enough
