I want to start making apps for android in Eclipse, and I have bought a book which will teach me about Java 2 (J2SE 5.0) from Ivor Horton. Will this knowledge of Java be good for Android apps, or is it completely outdated?
No version of Java is truly 'outdated' in the sense I think you mean. There has since been a great deal of extra functionality added to the language, but not removed.
So you may not learn about some things that are now possible with the language, but nothing you learn is likely to have gone out of date except some smalls exception with regards to Java applets (which are not really relevant in Android development anyway).
Android is now capable of handling Java 7 code, so it probably wouldn't be worth learning the in-and-outs of Java 8 if your learning it specifically for Android development.

I need to know, can't I develop Android application with only Java, without using C++. If we are going to start a carrer as Android developer, do I need to learn both C++ and Java. When develop industry application is Java enough?
Yes, you can develop Android apps with only Java, Java is enough. You're going to have to learn one thing at a time anyway... so you might as well learn Java first. If you find yourself thinking to yourself, "I'm going to need direct access to the underlying hardware and create my own 3D gaming engine... because this high level code isn't cutting it," then you can start learning C++.

Working on this desktop application, every thing is going great. Had some troubles her and there, but fixed every single on of them.
The only problem is that my app look ugly, that is what my boss thinking.
Done some research found javaFX but a lot of forums calling it dead or dying
is true ??
And if not any one has a good tutorial on it
JAVAFX
I liked it a lot, but I do fear they came a bit late to the show. It is also relative complex (but nicer than swing, I find) compared to web frontend frameworks
On the last devoxx conference, Oracle profiled javaFX as a platform for mobile. Maybe it has a chance there.
For tutorials: just google....

threads are not used, generics are not used.
Android uses only fraction of Java features, i know this, but what parts are NOT used?
p.s. this is not opinion type of question - i m asking about actual parts, i.e. specific answer, facts.
my opinion: threads are not used, generics are not used.
That's wrong. The whole java.util.concurrent package was ported up to java 1.6. And Generics are also full supported. What is not yet in, is the new java 1.8 features, like streams and lambda, and part of java 1.7, the new File.NIO 2
How about AWT and Swing? Android has it's own UI Framework.

I have used Python for developing GUI based games.
But I am amateur at Java.
What will be better to use Python or Java to start Android App development?
i saw this link maybe its possible
https://ep2013.europython.eu/conference/talks/developing-android-apps-completely-in-python
so far i knw you could use C#,Java script css html(phone gap) apart from using java. It be awesome if Android could be developed in many more languages so android market gets more apps and developers too.
i will also you recommend asking this kind of questions in quora.com or stackechange as this site is mostly about fixing code

I am looking to develop an application as a personal project. What I have in mind is a network-based application that would entail writing code for a typical client-server architecture using TCP Sockets as well as a heavy use of GUIs.
I believe I have quite a few choices: Swing in Java, PyQt, PyGTK, wxpython and the like in Python.
I was just wondering if anyone could direct me to which language would be better in the above respects.
I would suggest you go for JavaFX. It comes with the JDK and has a lot of good features.
Plus, it can inter-operate with Swing, backwards and forwards. It allows you to use CSS to pretty-paint your UI. t gives you best of both the worlds.
