My advice is to use the Eclipse ADT Bundle. It has everything you need in a convenient zip package that just needs to be unzipped, and you're ready to go! http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html It's what I use, and I love it!

No doubt eclipse is the best IDE available out there for android development.

It's more responsive from a design perspective, easier to compile apps, and is constantly getting better. Comments I'm a lone voice on here, but I prefer Android Studio.

I agree with Chris in many ways, but currently support is still overwhelmingly in Eclipse' favor. Cheers! -- Smug Comments I'm on the fence, leaning towards Eclipse.
