Could I realistically get freelance Android development gigs after just a few months of learning?

[Phillip Anderson]

My friend inspired me to learn Android because he has a social entrepreneurship venture idea, but if I study Android development and the idea fails, I'll still have marketable skills. Would I be able to get gigs with no experience and no degree follow Lex DeVille's advice? I know that I've been jumping around a lot the past two years with this stuff but I'm almost certain that this time it's for real because it's a real project a have with a friend and we're both serious about it and that it could change the world for the better.
