I want to start learning Android app development and was wondering whether I should start with an online school like treehouse or code academy (if so, which one would be the best) or just by using Google's tutorials. I have pretty decent knowledge with Java. I've never used an online school before, so I don't know how and what they teach. Which is why I'm asking here.
I too recently started learning Android Development and for me, I found that Big Nerd Ranch's book on Android Programming was extremely helpful. As someone who has had a lot of schooling in Java, there coding if very simplistic, but it is a great entry point into the subject IMO. During the 3 or 4 apps they walk you through, they gives you a good understand of, not only the development process of android apps, but also the Android SDK (development kit).
While Google's tutorials on android are very in-depth, BNR's book is much easier to swallow as a beginner.
Here's the link to their page if you're interested: http://www.bignerdranch.com/we-write/android-programming.html

I have used http://www.codecademy.com in the past to learn other programs. However, codeacademy does not provide a Java tutorial. Does anyone know another website out there that could further my knowledge in the Java field?
Thanks
If you want something to really further your knowledge here is a book that I used to study and practice JAVA.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gxcpyl686r8fg5r/Prentice.Hall.Introduction.to.Java.Programming.Comprehensive.8th.Edition.Jan.2010.pdf
It's a pretty good book in my opinion and I would consider reading the book in its entirety. Coding competition sites like http://codechef.com are good places to build up your knowledge.
Read from Headfirst Java 2nd edition, best book for Java beginners.
For Online study, go to: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/

I was trying to find out a good website for aspiring technical architects. To be precise, I have worked for 10 years in Java/J2EE areas, and now would like to gain further knowledge on architecture side of application. At the same time If I could see upcoming trends in technology that could provide a roadmap for Java professionals, would be of great help.
I usually get an hour or two to spend on doing extra things that includes scanning web sites, reading some articles etc..
I would like to know from experts, what site usually can be referred that can enrich me with good knowledge by spending an hour or two regularly? Or If you can share your experience would certainly help.
I like infoq.
I like Java Posse. They have lot of relevant podcasts for technical architects http://www.javaposse.com/
java lobby on dzone is quite a nice place, but you probably have already found that out. they do publish a variety of excellent quality articles.

"The Morning Brew" it's a very well done blogs that each day summarize the best posts for the .Net development platform.
It can be found at http://blog.cwa.me.uk/.
Is there a similar blog for Java? If not is someone interested in doing one? I do not need a series of blog about Java (I've already subscribed) but something that, like the .Net equivalent, posts the most relevant finding of the day.
Took a look at your link, for me something similar to it but in Java World is TheServerSide.com - "Your Enterprise Java Community"
Another good feed is "Javalobby - the heart of the Java developer community". In fact I prefer to surf its parent resource http://dzone.com/ - here you can find popular links from different technologies all around the web, and it keeps me up ;)
The Java Posse is an excellent java/news podcast resource, and the "liner" notes for their episodes have detailed links and notes.

I'm interested in JMonkey for some fun projects, but when I search Google to find tutorials and docs, I can only find either really basic and/or incomplete stuff, like these on http://jmonkeyengine.org/, or really specific ones. Do you know some "from beginner to expert" tutorial for JMonkey?
http://jmonkeyengine.org/wiki/doku.php/jme3 has a complete series of tutorials for jME3. They just haven't been accessible via google until now..
http://jmonkeyengine.org/wiki/doku.php/jme2:jme2 has a series of tutorials for the now community-supported old jME2
Actually, the best I found is this one:
http://www.theprogrammersweblog.com/2008/12/3d-game-programming-in-java-using.html
It's incomplete (but maybe it will be completed someday), but 11 parts are already available.
The aim is to create a complete Asteroid game.

Any Java tutorial that resembles Mark Pilgrim's approach for DiveIntoPython?
What about the official Java Tutorial? I found it pretty helpful to get started with the language.
I haven't read Dive Into Python but I do know that Bruce Eckels Thinking In Java is an excellent book and well worth a look.
Be warned though - it's monster size and not easy to carry around!
I don't think there is anything like Dive into Python in the Java world. The Java language doesn't lend itself to the model of 'Check out what we can do with these 15 lines of code!'
Best approach would be to dive in yourself, pick a project, and use the tutorial and the docs. Many people will recommend Eckel's Thinking in Java but know that it is the polar opposite of Dive into Python -- it is slow, methodical, and thorough.
