There are three routes to take to develop apps:
1. Native coding. This involves learning Java for Android apps and Objective-C for iPhone apps.
2. Hybrid coding. This involves learning HTML/CSS/JS (coding for web sites) + software like PhoneGap to help hook your code into the smartphone's features, like camera.
3. Web app. This involves learning HTML/CSS/JS (coding for web sites), and little else. It doesn't use your phone's features, like camera.
Which way do you want to go? If you want to see my workflow when making a hybrid app (#2), you can read this through:

You should start learning a programming language as c++ or java.
At first forget about android dev, start console apps as "Hello World".
Understand classes and methods and move to android.
