ADT extends the capabilities of Eclipse to let you quickly set up new Android projects, create an application UI, add components based on the Android Framework API, debug your applications using the Android SDK tools, and even export signed (or unsigned) APKs in order to distribute your application.

A couple of weeks ago I was so fortunate to get the opportunity working with the Android SDK development in my job (Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 :)).
Eclipse is the official development environment Google recommends for Android. When developing apps for Android, we will need Java SDK, Android SDK as well as the Android Eclipse IDE. Fortunately, this can be installed altogether using the ADT Bundle. SDK Manager Setting Up the ADT Bundle The ADT Bundle provides everything you need to start developing apps, including a version of the Eclipse IDE with built-in ADT (Android Developer Tools) to streamline your Android app development. If you haven't already, go download the Android ADT Bundle.
Compared with Android mobile app development using the Adobe Flex 4.5, the Android SDK may be a bit more tricky to do, so to document my experience I created this blog post (and maybe some more posts in the future).
After you've installed ADT and restarted Eclipse, you must specify the location of your Android SDK directory: Select Window Preferences. To open the Preferences panel (on Mac OS X, select Eclipse Preferences). Select Android from the left panel. You may see a dialog asking whether you want to send usage statistics to Google. Download and install the Android Software Developer Kit (SDK). This is available for free from the Android website. Select the “Use an Existing IDE” option to download just the SDK. You can download an ADT bundle that includes Eclipse and comes preconfigured, but this method ensures that you have the latest version of Eclipse.
To start developing Android apps, we need to install the Eclipse ADT, Android SDK (obviously..), and setup the AVD.
ADT – Android Development Tools AVD – Android Virtual Device
Prerequisite: – Familiar with Eclipse IDE
Steps:
1. Get Eclipse (I use Eclipse 3.7 – Indigo), download from:
Eclipse.org or EclipseSource (cloud download – a lot faster!!! :D)
2. Get Android SDK, run the installation:
After the installation, run the SDK Manager
Check “Tools” and the Android version you’re going to develop.
3. Install the Eclipse ADT (Android Development Tools) Plugin:
Run Eclipse
Download Android Sdk Tools Only
Click Help > Install New Software
Click Add, copy the following to the Location input: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
Check “Developer Tools” and follow the rest of installation wizard.
4. After restarting the Eclipse, check if the ADT picks-up the SDK directory correctly:
The new AVD should appear in the AVD Manager, click “Start” button to run it.
*It takes time to start the AVD, in my machine it takes 7 mins.
FAQ
Q: Why the AVD is so sloooooooww in my computer?
A: There’s nothing wrong with your computer, it’s really the problem with the AVD. If you followed my steps correctly, we should’ve set the RAM size to 768MB and enabled the snapshot. Enabling the snapshot means that whenever we run the emulator, it will bypass the longer boot process. Set the option save to snapshot on the first time, but un-check it whenever we run the emulator afterward, because saving to snapshot will take significant time as well. :p
