Android Developer Tools

The Android SDK provides you the API libraries and developer tools necessary to build, test, and debug apps for Android.

If you're a new Android developer, we recommend you download the ADT Bundle to quickly start developing apps. It includes des the essential Android SDK components and a version of the Eclipse IDE with built-inADT (Android Developer Tools)To streamline your Android app development.

What is the difference between Android applications and traditional Java programs? With Eclipse and ADT, how is the development efficiency?

First, from the runtime environment level analysis, Java programs can run when they have a Java virtual machine, and Android applications not only need to be explained by the Dalvik virtual machine, in addition, many system components and APIs are required. Therefore, these are all notes for traditional Java program developers. there are indeed many Java programming IDES and tools, however, Google chose Eclipse and provided the Eclipse-based plug-in ADT to facilitate application development. I believe everyone knows that the most difficult part of application development is Debug, in addition to the debugging tools of Eclipse, ADT provides many auxiliary debugging functions on the Android platform, such as ddms and simulator tools. At the same time, if our applications need to use NDK to develop Native programs, Eclipse can also easily integrate the C \ C ++ development environment, in general, using Eclipse and ADT to develop applications is a perfect combination. Of course, you can use other tools for development!
