There is an alternative way if you only want to develop Android games, you can use Unity Game engine. This game engine is mostly suited for developing mobile games but also have a good support for developing PC and console games . It uses anyone of the three scripting languages for developing game functionality- C#, JavaScript and Boo. Beginners find JavaScript easy to learn. There is a free version of Unity game engine is available on its official site and it comes with the 30-days trial of pro version. Here is a link for it:

With Unity game engine, you can develop 2D as well as 3D graphics game.
Keep in mind that you cannot create your game assets and characters models in Unity, you need a separate 3D program for it. Blender is a good choice if you are looking for a free program. It is complete VF tools. Here is a link to its official site for downloading it:

I want to start programing games for android but I don't know where to start. I am looking for a video tutorial to help me learn but I will also take a e-book or a book that I can get from my local library. Thank you.
