Setting Up Your System to Write Android Applications

For those who came late, here is a little bit of history on Android.

Android is a mobile operating system initially developed by Google. The initial release of Android happened on September 23, 2008. Alongside the release, Google also took the initiative to form the Open Handset Alliance (OHA), which is a group of 84 companies including Sony, Dell, Samsung Electronics, HTC, and Motorola to name a few. Note that Android was and is a platform, and the primary purpose of the OHA was to develop open standards for mobile devices and promote the Android platform.
