What level of java knowledge is required/recommended ?

Intermediate. If you've never dealt with multi-threading then I would start learning a bit more before developing for Android (unless you're building a basic calculator)
 
That depends on what kind of applications you plan to build. If you plan to build simple apps, your current knowledge will suffice.

In any case if you get stuck whilst coding, you'll get plenty of online help and assistance.
 
Thanks Scythe.

I most definitely do not want to create a basic calculator

Can you recommend some good places where I can learn (and get my hands dirty) more about multi-threading in Java.
 
Thanks abee.

Right now, I have no idea what kind of applications I want to build. But I definitely want to build applications that are useful.
 
Calculators are useful!
i was lookign for a mortgage repayment calculator the other day and couldn't find one.
I wasn't looking very hard mind.
And i found that excel on my work computer has a very decent formula that works it out easily.

but yeah, simple can be useful (looks at self in mirror)
:0)
 
Yes, a mortgage repayment calculator can be really helpful on a mobile device. I also did not find any apps like that and I stumbled upon this repayment calculator site and I think if this is on my phone, it would be a blast.
