Whats the Difference Between Android Java & pure JĂ va

I learnt pure Java in high school in my 2nd year. I started android because I read and heard it is based on java. but when I started i couldn't apply my java knowledge because some syntaxes I saw in android studio were so strange to me and doesn't seem to be the java I learnt. Speaking of Java syntax and other aspects of it, how did you apply the Java you learnt in android. In other words, how were you able to connect your java knowledge to android (share your experience here)

fuctions & oop concepts are the same, the rest is android... I got a very bad experience with eclipse + Adt (now Android studio): I didn't go far beyond hello world... My suggestion is to start with easier tools like processing IDE in android Mode: it will be a more beginner friendly approach and you'll get fast results building apk's that will keep you motivated. have a look at the Ketai library for hardware/sensor inyerfacing. http://android.processing.org/ https://processing.org/ by doing you'll get more and more familiar and esigent and when the time is right you'll dive in Android Studio for necessity (widgets, push notifications...) But by that time it won't be the unbeatable monster it looks now.
