ADT Plugin
Android Development Tools (ADT) is a plugin for the Eclipse IDE that is designed to give you a powerful, integrated environment in which to build Android applications. 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) . a p k files in order to distribute your application.
SEE ALSO Installing the Eclipse Plugin

Developing in Eclipse with ADT is highly recommended and is the fastest way to get started. With the guided project setup it provides, as well as tools integration, custom XML editors, and debug output pane, ADT gives you an incredible boost in developing Android applications. This document provides step-by-step instructions on how to download the ADT plugin and install it into your Eclipse development environment. Note that before you can install or use ADT, you must have compatible versions of both the Eclipse IDE and the Android SDK installed. For details, make sure to read Installing the Eclipse Plugin (/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html). If you are already using ADT, this document also provides instructions on how to update ADT to the latest version or how to uninstall it, if necessary. For information about the features provided by the ADT plugin, such as code editor features, SDK tool integration, and the graphical layout editor (for drag-and-drop layout editing), see the Android Developer Tools (/tools/help/adt.html) document.
