Full instructions on this page
In order to set up your environment, you’ll need to download and install the following:
  • Java Development Kit (JDK 5 or JDK 6) – the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) alone is not enough. You can download the specific JDK for your system from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.
  • Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo), which can be downloaded from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. “Classic” is the recommended version.
  • Android SDK Tools available from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html. Take note where this is installed or unzipped for the next step.
  • Android Developer Tools (ADT)—Eclipse Plugin, which needs to be installed from inside Eclipse:
    • From the Help menu, click on Install New Software, then select Add.
    • In the dialog box, enter ADT Plugin for the Name and https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ in Location; then press OK.
    • Select Developer Tools and click Next, and Next again when presented with the items to be installed.
    • Read and accept the license terms, and click Finish.
