    If your goal is developing Android apps, then start with mainstream official tutorials. Install the Android SDK and follow the tutorial. That’s your intro.

    Then, get the source code of a FOSS Android app that you use, and build and run that. Then make some changes to play around with it, to see how stuff is structured, relates, and changes.

    On that project, with the change history cloned, or on their repository web interface, look at some changes that were implemented. A bug fix or new feature. How did they implement it? Where did they [have to] change what?

    Then look if the, or a project you use, has some open tickets with labels for beginners or looking for contributors. Explore those. Try to resolve them.
