When I looked at the instructions for installing the tools needed to develope for Android on Windows they involved several steps and you needed to jump back and forward between different pages. A bit too much for my taste and not so usable, so this is a try to streamline the instructions. For further help etc please visit the Android SDK source pages. If I have missed anything or things could be done smoother you are free to contact me or comment below. Most of the text is cut and pasted from the Android SDK source pages I just wanted everything in one place and thought I could share it with you.
