I have been asked to learn about Test Plan, Test Suite, Black Box Testing, Test Cases. Can anyone guide me in which order should I start learning?
And also what are the necessary test cases for Android application testing and how to write test cases in excel?
Test Plan: In Test plan you can understand whole application, Flow on your android application and after create test plan & test cases.
Black-box testing: Testing without having any knowledge of the interior workings of the application is called black-box testing.Black box testing includes only input and output process
Test Suite: Test suite means validation. check all validation for mandatory fields
Test Case: Create test case for your mobile application continue to testing period.
Generally when it comes to implementation , correct order is :
1 - Create Test Plan
2 - Create Test Cases
3 - Execute Test Cases [It includes all testing. i.e Blackbox]

I would like you to summon our search god, known to us as Google. One query and there is a bucket full of results returned, which have all the information that you need. I expect, most likely your prayer would be answered.
Go by this order :
Read more at Black Box Testing
Read more at Test Cases
Read more at Test Plan

Now, more often than not, starters seem to have a confusion in getting difference between Test Plan and Test Suite. Here is a good link to understand the difference.
Now, coming to part 2 of your question-
And also what are the necessary test cases for Android application testing
This is a very broad question. And it depends solely, how your application is designed and how it works.
You can create test cases based on exploring your application and refer to this link on how to write good test cases. If your application is based on a requirement, you can design test cases, which cover the requirements. Otherwise, explore the app and try to think about the cases/scenarios that user may face.
For example, if your application needs an email login- then you can create scenarios when a user tries to log in using
Now to next part of your question
how to write test cases in excel
There are a lot of templates available on web. Summon the search god and it shall reply. You can copy one of those and use that, in your test plan. Above template provided (by Helping Hands), should be a good start.
Update : I found a very good example of a basic test case template here :Test Case Template And, also here.
Honestly, today I believe that most businesses don't care for many papers, delivered value, go for it. Forget test cases, test plans. A mind map can help you much more.
Today most environments are agile, no one has time to look at thousands of papers with a lot of text. Using a mindmap you can "draw" your ideas and be faster and intuitive.
Please do visit the site: http://www.softwaretestingclass.com. Very practical details about types of testing and how to write test cases, test plan. Even there is particular section for Mobile Testing.
