Android development setup on Windows

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi. I want to set up a development system on a windows 7 64 bit PC. I could do with database usage at a later date. I want to do it as hard coding not use software that you just drag and drop objects to play games.

TIA Desmond.

Re: Android development setup on Windows

The Android Software Development Kit (SDK) is free at the Android site. It's your choice whether to write Java from scratch, write Java using existing class files, write xml or use some app to drag and drop (which seems to be what most Android app "developers" are doing these days). You can get the Mini-SDK or you can download the full official SDK directly from the Android Developers site (Or you can wait until Friday (October 17) to get the latest version, 5.0.)
