For starting with android development you probably best start with Eclipse. It is very easy to setup, just download and install Eclipse and you can install the add-on from the IDE itself. It will download, install and take care of everything. Eclipse and the ADT plugin are all free. I really think this is the best way to go.

Good luck!

thanks a lot, i'll do as you mentioned.
am I suppose to be a java programmer??? I don't want that... I mean I don't want to develop a program that can run on android but i want develop programs specified for android like sys and sysx extensions on Symbian...

Eclipse is java, but android programming isn't all about java because android is quite specific. Meaning that if you're a java programmer you can't also program for android without learning. If you want to create something that works on most devices you could take a look at phonegap (http://phonegap.com/) but it has some limitations.

Most of the apps for Android are Java based (well, their implementation of Java)... so when in Rome...
