Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish! Now, that we know 'Why' one should choose Android for application development? It would be apt now to get in the process of developing Android application. We are the right place for you to get started with the Android application development.


This post will help you install Android Software Development Kit (SDK) within the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE) on Windows Operating System. For, all my friends who belong to non technical background may find the terms mentioned above as 'jargon'. 

Thus, to make development process easy and self learning I have included a jargon buster segment at the end of the post. So, do remember to check that out before posting your query in the comment section below.

To start with, we would require to first download all the software required for Android application development.  And to make, the process less cumber some and easy to understand I have included videos which I had made for our brother site The Geeks Club.


Now, that we have downloaded the software required for Android application development. The next step, is to install Java Development Toolkit (JDK) and set it class path which have been explained in the video segment below.


The last step is to integrate the Android SDK and Android Development Toolkit (ADT) plugins within Eclipse IDE. The video below explains the entire integration process.



I hope that the post was helpful and gave you the adrenaline gush to kick start with Android application development. Help us to know what changes you would like to see in following posts by commenting in the comment section below.

Jargon Buster:

Android Software Development Toolkit: The Android SDK provides the tools and libraries necessary to begin developing applications that run on Android-powered devices.


Eclipse Integrated Development Environment: Eclipse is a multilingual software development environment comprising an integrated development environment (IDE) and an extensible plug-in system. It is written mostly in Java.

Android Development Toolkit plugin for Eclipse IDE: Android Development Tools (ADT) is a plugin for the Eclipse IDE.ADT extends the capabilities of Eclipse to let you quickly set up new Android projects, create an application UI, add packages based on the Android Framework API, debug your applications using the Android SDK tools, and even export signed (or unsigned) .apk files in order to distribute your application.

Java Development Toolkit: A Java Development Kit (JDK) is a program development environment for writing Java applets and applications. It consists of a runtime environment that "sits on top" of the operating system layer as well as the tools and programming that developers need to compile, debug, and run applets and applications written in the Java language.

Setting Class Path: Class path is a parameter—set either on the command-line, or through an environment variable—that tells the Java Virtual Machine or the compiler where to look for user-defined classes and packages.
