Take The First Step to Android - Set up the environment



So you want to learn Android. Good!
Because Android is making it's mark on the Mobile phone industry step by step. Therefore knowing Android will take you a long way.
First of all before learning how to program, let's set up the environment.

First of all, you need to download the Android SDK. You can find it here .
Find the SDK version that fits you the most.

I mostly prefer Eclipse for JAVA, Android. If you don't have Eclipse you can download it here.
Download Eclipse - Galileo

Now download ADT plugin for Eclipse here. This site guides you step by step through the procedure of how to install and configure ADT plugin.

Then you might get a window prompting you to select which APIs and other goodies to download for the ADT plugin.
If you don't you can go to Project -> Android SDK and AVD manager -> Available Packages.
Then select what you need.

So that's it. Have a nice day.
