Follow bellow steps

1) Install JDK

• Go to the URL: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
• Then click on Download option as shown in figure.

• Choose the appropriate option that is as per the machine you are installing the JDK viz. 32 bit machine or 64 bit machine. See the image below for help.

• Once the download is over. Start the .exe file by double click on it.

• After successful installation of JDK, we need to set the Environment variables in order to use JDK with Eclipse.
• Go to MyComputer from the start-up menu -> Go to Properties -> Go to Advanced System Settings -> Click Environment Variables.
• Click on New and type the Environment Variable as path.
• Place the value of the JDK installation folder on your machine till the folder’s bin directory. For ex: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05\bin
• Create another environment variable and name it JAVA_HOME and set the value as C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05 (i.e. excluding the bin directory).

• Once we have created the Environment variables, we are done with the process of JDK installation.

2)Install Android SDK

• Download the complete android sdk installation bundle by clicking download button from here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

• Accept the terms and conditions and select according to your system specifications (ex – 32 bit, 64 bit).

• Now open eclipse.exe to run Eclipse. It is located under eclipse/ folder and you are done with installation.

Caution: Do not move any of the files or directories from the downloaded directory. If you move the eclipse or sdk directory, ADT will not be able to locate the SDK and you’ll need to manually update the ADT preferences.
