Android Application Development Ennvironment Set up

There are two ways to set the eclipse for Android development.

a. Directly download the ADT bundle(Eclipse + Android SDk + SDK update Manager), which is very easy and simple way
b. Install Eclipse separately and set up the Android SDK for existing eclipse, which involves little more configuration.

We can see both ways of setting up the Android development environment.

(a) Easy Way, Steps

1. Download the ADT(Android Development Tools) Bundle, which has both eclipse and APK setup. advantage of using this is you no need to setup the Eclipse IDE for android development  Its all set up already. Click <a href= "http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html">here</a> to download the ADT Bundle.

2. Unzip the downloaded adt-bundle-<os_platform>.zip and save it in your own convenient directory, instead of download.

3. Run the adt-bundle-<os_platform>/eclipse/eclipse.exe, it will launch the eclipse. That's it. Start the development.

(b)ADK Configuration for exiting Eclipse
