I’m not sure there are any pre-requisites besides installing Eclipse and the Android SDK. Some Java background will definitely help out, but if you have used pretty much any other curly brace language you’ll feel comfortable enough to make some reasonable progress quickly. I can’t really recommend any books since I started programming for Android in 2007 before any were released. Generally the documentation is adequate and there are lots of open source resources out there now.

I am interested in learning Adroid programming. What pre-requisites are there. I was looking for a course that would take me from user to programmer.
