Unless this is a professional with at least C++ or Python experience (because of similar OOP) then learning modern Java in one day is impossible. The language is so steeped in bizarre ritualistic code they’d need months and months to get ahead. However! Android this is possible.

There’s basically two worlds of Java: Die hard pattern freaked out enterprise holdovers who write AbstractFactoryInterfaces on a myriad of “platforms”. Android which has a mostly closed ecosystem with nice tools by and for non-EE Java folks. I’d say “Go learn Android”.

Aaaaaaannnd be sure to stress this very fine point: Do NOT try to build any original apps for android. The pressure to be original will crush the learning. Instead stress simpleCOPYING like 10 existing apps in the emulator is enough. Too many people freeze up at “original”.
