I am brand new to Java. Am I write in saying this.

With an FTP you basically have files.

Is it a files/folders set up you'd use in Java kind of?

I want to make a main (home page) for a java application then on click of a button it goes to (second page).

This is for Android / Indigo.

1. You create two projects.
2. Link the two projects?

What am I not understanding with this. It seems so simple.

im not entirely sure what you're asking. first you talk about "slides", then FTP, then using java for files/folders, then about navigating from one page to another, then about linking two projects. Make up your mind.

if you want to go from one android activity to another with the click of a button:
1. add a button to the activity
2. in the onClick event, launch a new intent with the new activity you want to launch
3. done

was kind of talking about web layouts. Do you just create one slide then you have to create another one?

You know basically in web architecture that you just use files and folders. Is that the same with Java kind of? Each slide is a new project? They are independant of each other then you connect two projects together like you would two files for building a website?

I recommend you read tutorials or a book so you can gain a better understanding.

tldr java classes/objects interact with each other, not files

and a project contains many classes

Am I right in saying Java files are huge lines of code since there's no seperation of pages?

can you give me an example of "separation of pages"?

You generally don't focus on "files", but rather "classes". usually you have one class per file and many methods per class. but you can also have multiple classes per file (anonymous, inner, private classes). in C#, you can also have partial classes so a single class spans multiple files.

classes and methods are inside code blocks, which are separated via braces {}

in the android world, each screen you see is usually in a dedicated activity which is its own class and in another file. in addition to the activity, you also have the corresponding xml files (layout, style, user controls, etc), then another class to handle business logic, and another to handle data access
