can you count the letter g in:
q: what is the ideal learning path to building android apps with scala, without prior java experience unfortunately, there are not currently any books on the subject of learn android development with scala, which would be the ideal solution. im guessing that ill need to pick up at least 3 books here, one for each topic. however, i have no idea what order to read them in, whether to read them simultaneously, what parts of the java book i can safely skip, etc.
what is the best path for me to get started building android apps using scala?

a: *

*the most detailed resource i know for android developers is: http://developer.android.com/index.html 

*developing android apps with scala has not developed to a satisfying standard just yet. you can read about it more here: http://www.slideshare.net/janberkel/android-development-with-scala

a: you have not stated the reason why you prefer scala over java to program android apps.
you need to have a solid foundation in oop. also have you looked on google code for programming on scala in android: http://code.google.com/p/scala-android/ . also look into this as well: http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/scala-ide/developing_for_android
