I second interrupting the JavaScript course if you can. It will only confuse you as you start learning Java (completely unrelated language). Normally I would recommend learning Java first, but since you are just doing this for fun and knowledge go ahead and get this book: http://www.amazon.com/Android-Programmers-App-Driven-Approach-Developer/dp/0133570924

You get a primer on Java and start building apps immediately. It uses Eclipse which is fine but a lot of developers are switching to Android Studio. You can try and translate the steps using Studio if you want or just keep it simple to start out with.

If you like the format of video lectures + exercises, check out this Coursera program for free: https://www.coursera.org/course/androidapps101

From here you can decide to explore the Java language or try and build something using Android APIs that interest you (location, bluetooth, etc.)

Cheers!

Just searched, this is what youre referencing, correct? I dont think it would hurt to learn the basics, and how it all works before strict UI guidelines, so that isnt too bad it doesnt have Material in it.
