If you have a proficient enough understanding of Java, I'd go for the free content Udacity has on Android development.

If you're looking for Android dev with Kotlin, check out Letsbuildthatapp on youtube. He primarily does videos on iOS development, but he's published some videos with kotlin and I think more is on the way.

The official Android docs is a great place to start!

developer.android.com/guide/index....

Since you understand swift then picking this up would not be hard at all, good luck!

EDIT: This is also a really good podcast that talks all about android development:

I find these to be really good learning sources:

Udacity's Android Basics: User Interface (Check the course description to see the full list of courses it is Part Of).
Google's Android Codelabs (which shows how to do specific things in Android).
