So far i came through simple applications/games development, i just started seeing what is openGL ES 1/2. What i would like to know is to write games/apps with rich graphics(3d) and animations, what is the starting point of learning? and is there any other tool/IDE to develop such apps/games.
Thanks

Everything programming wise is done with existing eclipse and android SDK. For asset creation you need to pick your own 3D modelling package (e.g. blender, 3ds max, maya) and image editor (photoshop, gimp, or even ms paint) for making textures, sprites etc. You'll also need to write an (in-app) parser for whatever 3d model format you choose to save your models as. Android does however have various methods for loading in images
Alternatively, there are some game engines out there for android that you can pick up off the shelf if you don't want to write your own from scratch. Unity3d is the only one I can think of right now, but I know there are others as well
