Steps
Install JDK Install Android SDK Install Eclipse Install Eclipse Plug-ins for Android

Sample Project: Hello, Android

Installation - JDK
JDK is required to run Eclipse and develop Android applications. Installation Process
Download the latest version of JDK from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html

Install the downloaded JDK Add the path of the JDK's 'bin' directory to the system

Installation - JDK (Cont.)

Installation Process (Cont.)
For Windows, add it to Environment Variables:

Installation - JDK (Cont.)

Test
If you have successfully installed JDK, you should be able to see following messages in your command prompt window or terminal on typing:
C:\Users\Gaurav>javac -version javac 1.7.0_04

Get Eclipse
Complete information is also here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html Download Eclipse Indigo
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipseide-java-ee-developers/indigosr2

After downloaded, decompress in a directory name eclipse Note, there is no installation for eclipse. Once it is decompressed, you are ready to run it. But you can only start eclipse by opening a file browser and double clicking on eclipse.exe

Get Android SDK

Go to http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html Install Will check that the correct version of jdk is installed. install in c:\Android After installing SDK, the SDK manager should run.

Select SDK Platform-tools. Download each API version. However, dont download every package within the API version (it takes to long). Instead, select SDK platform, samples, Google api and then the package for you phone. Download Android Support package And, Google USB Driver package

AVD

Install ADT Eclipse plugin

For instructions, also see http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html#installing Start eclipse

Install ADT Eclipse plugin

In Eclipse, go to Help -> Install New Software

Install ADT Eclipse plugin

Click Add in top right Enter: Name: ADT Plugin Location: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/

Click OK

Install ADT Eclipse plugin

select Developer Tools, click Next

Click Next and then Finish. Afterwards, restart Eclipse Specify SDK location (next 3 slides)
Must do this every time start a new project in a new location (at least in Windows)
