It's not difficult at all but before you start I highly recommend you to read the guide from Android Developer site: https://developer.android.com/training/basics/data-storage/index.html
You will learn how to save data which is a very important part of your project.

Then you have to learn all about EditText (allows the user to type text into your app) and TextView (displays text on screen).

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/controls/text.html

When your app is finished you can add some additional functionality:

Some useful links:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/EditText.html
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html

I also advice you this Notepad Tutorial which will guide you step by step to construct a simple notes list that lets the user add new notes.
