Any Java Book Recommend

[waylife]

I‘ve used C# for one and half years. Recently,for job reason,I need to use Java. Actually,I've been learning WP Development,but it is hard to find a job,so I turn to android. But they are lots of Java and Android books,so any recommend. Beginner , Advanced Books.

Java in a Nutshell, published by O'Reilly. The nutshell series are always good value. A bit of introductory tutorial (more refresher, really) and then comprehensive reference. So not a beginner's book but a working developer's constant companion. Cheers, Peter

Herbert Schildt's Java The Complete Reference Updated and Expanded for Java SE 7 will be of good choice.

Is it need to learn Java 7 just for android development?

You might not need if you have a grip on the basics of Java. If you have then you can go ahead referring android books.

I've been using "Sams Teaches you Java in 24 hours" and I found it to be amazing, have a look! (I know it's a late answer, but still) :)
