Yes, use the tutorials. When I started, I thought I could learn faster by just studying the Lunar Lander sample code... but as it turns out, that code is in many ways a good example of how not to write a solid Android program. (I still blame that code for a good bit of lost development time.) And I missed a lot of things like helpful XML attributes and the application/activity lifecycle and so forth. The online documentation is pretty good, although it does obscure things a bit much sometimes (like if you want to write a game, and you're not sure why you're not always receiving key events, and then one day you see something in the docs called "Touch Mode" and you think that looks interesting but since your app doesn't use touch screen input you probably don't need to read about it...)
