I want to make a 3d game app for android and maybe iphone. I plan on making it online.

What would I need to learn and what resources would I need?

If you don't already know how to program, you should start there. Learn Java if you plan on developing for Android, Objective-c if you plan on developing for iOS, or Javascript if you plan on developing cross-platform.

Any programs I need?

Java (Android) - Eclipse with Android SDK
Objective-c (iOS) - XCode (Mac only)
Javascript (Android + iOS) - Eclipse or Sublime Text2 and Intel Impact XDK or GameQuery

You could also try a game engine like Unity3D or UDK. It's probably the easiest way to create a game, but you'll still need to learn Javascript and C#

Also, remember, it takes years to learn to program. You should consider going to school for game programming.

For Android, they just released "AndroidStudio" which is IntelliJ but custom coded for built in stuff for Android.

But if you want 3D games, maybe check out Unity since you can port to iPhone and Android.

Where can I start to learn the basics?

google whatever you wanna learn and add tutorial to it

Learn how to program, learn some physics and linear algebra if you want to do a 3D game. If you can get through that without any problems you'll be fine, otherwise just quit because writing games isn't easy.

edit: If you need AI have fun learning pathfinding algorithms, decision trees and the like.
