If you are just getting into Android  you would be well served by using Android Studio rather than using any version of Eclipse   Android Studio was released in 2013 and provides a nice integrated development environment for developing for Android   Android Studio is based on IntelliJ  which is a great java devlopment environment   It also has these specific Android features    Gradle-based build support  Android-specific refactoring and quick fixes  Lint tools to catch performance  usability  version compatibility and other problems  ProGuard and app-signing capabilities  Template-based wizards to create common Android designs and components  A rich layout editor that allows you to drag-and-drop UI components  preview layouts on multiple screen configurations  and much more    You can download it here

I literally did this 1 hour ago    SDK R7 Get Java - if you don t have  its the first image link JDK  Get Eclipse - it s the first on the list with the most downloads Android Plugin   Download the appropriate files for your OS  The Android SDK needs java in order to install  Once you get the Android SDK installed go get eclipse and install that  Basically download the file and unzip then in a directory  The android install is the same but it will install a lot more files   5  Finally open eclipse and go to help   install new software    and add the url to the plugin - I used this one https   dl-ssl google com android eclipse
