You'll want to learn Java (http://www.mindview.net/Books/TIJ/) (or any object-oriented language). If you're absolutely new to programming I'd suggest learning Python (http://docs.python.org/tutorial/index.html) first as it will teach you basic OO concepts that can then be applied to Java.

Note that via PyDev (http://pydev.sourceforge.net/) you can write Python code inside of Eclipse, so while you're learning Python you'll also learn more about Eclipse.

Learn Java so you have an understanding of it. There's a ton of tutorials on the net, so just google around :)

ok thanks.

Noob question but in eclipse, should i be editing the .java file in or the main.xml file in layout?

let me know thanks

Both; res/layout/*.xml are different UI layouts while the .java files make use of those layouts.

You really need to read the documentation at http://Developer.Android.com before writing anything; you're going to have a lot more questions that are already answered there.
