Well, have a look under Forum -> Software -> Open Source Software OR Mobile Gaming OR Apps General Discussion.
But really, if you're that interested in it Android/Mobile dev, you need to hit the XDA Forums. Those guys have got really interesting and informative threads going on at all times. You won't find everything in one place but that's just the nature of it...you need to dig around and gather bits of knowledge here and there and experiment with things. Such is modern learning...this is especially the case with fast-pace environment like mobile.

A few things I'd say though...
1) If you don't have a mainstream Android device (HTC, Samsung, etc.), get one. Doesn't have to be the latest. And experiment with it. By that I mean root, load custom roms and personalise/customise heavily.
2) If you're a beginner, try your best not to make new threads...because 90 out of 100 times, what you want to ask is already answered. So, dig around A LOT which is (as said before) crucial part of learning.
3) Android is based on Java so you need to have the basic grasp of it, and the 'object' concept. If you're not already familiar with it, get one of the beginner's tutorial books and learn. Don't bother with Android dev books until you've got the hang of Java and 'object'.

A lot of it will be trial and error but you'll learn a lot more from the latter. Make sure to keep a dev diary,...and don't forget to have fun! :)

Best wishes.
