You have to first find out a good amount of Java.After that,you should go for android.com page and get the developer's SDK.All you need is on this site.Hope this helps and good luck to its application development!!I hope that my suggestion will be sweet bale to you...So best of luck man!!!!!

For an emulator you will need to know a lot of straight up C would be my guess.

Current gen console games are programmed in C++, previous gen such as the Game Boy Advance had games programmed in C.

You'll need to know some Java but that will probably be the easiest of the work. An emulator is no easy task. I would think you may need some Assembly knowledge as well as knowing how to hack games by decompiling and hex editing. It's a huge project an not recommended for beginners. You'll also want some knowledge of graphics systems like OpenGL ES.

This is going to sound harsh, but quite seriously - if you need to ask these kind of questions, then you shouldn't bother trying to program an emulator.

Unless you are a programming guru, the first thing to do when you work with a new language/platform, is to make something simple and easy (there is a reason why "Hello World" is the de facto starting example for every platform). Start with that and work up. developer.android.com is the number 1 resource.
