Developing Android applications can be a fun and exciting experience. To get started creating Android applications, you need a proper development environment. This will allow you to use all the tools needed to create an app and ensure you work efficiently.

I will show you how to setup a working environment using the Android SDK, Eclipse IDE, and ADT Plugin.This Instructable assumes you have knowledge of what Android is and have a basic understanding of programming, although programming is not required.First I will explain how to get and setup the Android SDK provided by Google. Then I will address the use of the Eclipse IDE for development. Finally, I will focus on the ADT (Android Development Tool) Plugin that integrates the Android SDK with Eclipse.Approximate time required: 20 mins.Requirements: Computer with 300 mb of free space. You'll most likely have to restart Eclipse after you install the ADT Plugin so do that before you continue. Mac/Linux: After Eclipse has restarted, click 'Eclipse' in the application menu.

In the Preferences window, select the Android tab on the left side and it's corresponding drop down menu.This is the ADT Preferences screen. It will allow you to change setting, remove the SDK and make editor preferences for your development.
