I can't think of any particular Java resource I've used online more than others. Probably for Android the best overall resources have been the numerous example programs that come with the development kit. There are NDK examples as well. JNI to me seems a bit arcane - here are a couple of links I found helpful:

http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/design/jni.html
http://android.wooyd.org/JNIExample/files/JNIExample.pdf
