Apps Android Development Advice Please

I have no knowledge of Android Development but desperately would like to learn. I have downloaded Android Studio but am already lost. I started watching Youtube videos but I feel proper teaching is needed. Does anyone know of any colleges offer Android Development courses where I can pay a concession fee or any information or help would be so appreciated. I need to improve my chances of employment and feel this is the road I would love to go down. Many thanks for reading.
 
Well, I too have no knowledge about Android development. I too desperately want to learn. But my problem is different, my laptop cannot handle Android Studio. If what you mean by "lost" is that you don't know what to type in, maybe you need to learn the programming language. Sololearn ( www.sololearn.com ) is a good place to start.
 
Most of the Android development is centered around Eclipse, although I coded a few applications using IntelliJ IDEA's Community Edition without any problem. Personally, I don't care much about Eclipse's UI drag-and-drop interface. which is anything but impressive. Way more work needs to be done here.

It's not correct to say most Android development is centered around Eclipse. Android Studio has for some time, been the officially supported IDE for Android development. Android Studio is based on Intellij.
You can still use Eclipse for Android development, and it's a matter of opinion which one is better. But most people are using Android Studio, and the vast majority of code examples and tutorials on the web are geared towards this.
