How knowledgeable do I have to be in Java to develop Android apps?

Question

Hello everyone,

I have a strong desire to develop Apps for Android using Java programming. I'm currently taking a beginners program in Java at school and working my way up on it. So far I really like it.

How much knowledge in Java do I need to develop a basic app, say like "Flappy bird". Do I need to go to the advanced levels like Data structures, pointers or trees?

I would appreciate any helpful tips.

thanks

there are no pointers in Java thank goodness

you need a solid Java foundation with some expertise in graphics

not sure you'd need a tree structure, but you might
