Programming for Android can only be done using Java at this time.
With out turning this into a discussion about how beneficial taking a class on programming is, I will say that as a career developer the majority of your learning will be through hands on work and reading industry books/websites. If this is your first time coding, I'd say "Intro" classes in any language will probably be quite similar and beneficial to you however.
One of the best ways, I feel, to teach yourself programming as a novice is to download source code for existing programs and try to understand what's going on. Make changes and see if the changes you made were what you expected. The Android SDK comes with lots of sample programs that you can tinker with and re-compile. Have fun and feel free to ask questions!
