Look at examples.

What is it called? That thing that interpreted language programmers do? Something like crash dummy design. Implement something, run it, fix it. I primarily program in blocks, module after module.

To start out, just program a few trivial programs. Hello World type programs, switching between simple views, etc.

Start thinking about a simple app to develop towards. Perhaps a tic-tac-toe game, or something that uses GPS to track your mileage & speed when you exercise.

Again, these first programs are going to be trivial, but the sooner you can think in terms of complete applications rather than throwaway programs, the better. Then, you can think about how to extend these applications to use more features, for example, sending your running routes to a friend, or playing a game of tic-tac-toe with a friend.

After making improvements to your simple apps, try to think of some more sophisticated applications. Rinse and repeat.

My best advice (this is not just for Android, either) is that even though cheap throwaway programs are necessary at first, you should move away from them as quickly as possible, and make something real. Even if it is a simple application, it's still an application, not "hello, x". Games with simple logical rules are often a good place to start.
