I downloaded and installed Android Studio 1.0 with JDK 8 about 2 weeks ago and installed it no problem.
Perhaps check if its the 32bit or 64 bit, for both the JDK and Android Studio; I think they might separate downloads. And with your PC having 16GB of RAM its most probably running 64 bit Windows.
I also downloaded it from the Android Studio site: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html[^]
I find Android Studio much more pleasant to work with then Eclipse too.

I got myself an Android phone a while ago. I HATE IT!!!
Why on earth would anyone want to develop apps for such a pile of $#¥%.
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

for example, when you have to debug software on industrial equipment PLC on the spot. You wouldn't want to carry your laptop in the hall with dust and oil all around, not to mention there is nowhere to sit down and code. Android tablet is much more convenient option, you can code in cctools IDE in c or c++, compile on tablet and upload code to, for example, AVR chip with ZFlasher app and USB OTG cable. For other purposes, you can use ssh, send some UDP packets etc...
And for coding on PC for android, QtCreator c++ IDE is more convenient than JAVA. Almost every piece of software i've made for win or linux, I can compile and run on android without any modification.

Umm Android studio works just fine on Win 8. It is miles ahead of Eclipse. Maybe you downloaded the 32 bit or the installer for some other operating system.

I can't imagine your I7 not being able to run Android Studio, with one caveat - you do have to make sure you have the Java 1.7 SDK (or higher) installed for the current version of Android Studio. You can get by with Java 1.6 SDK if you limit your development to older versions of Android, but you may have to revert to Eclipse with the Android APK. Android Studio will work just fine with Java 1.8 SDK installed, though I don't know if it will support the full use of the added Java language features like the functional programming stuff.
As an aside, if for some reason you cannot get this working, you may also look into installing Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 beta. I believe they are going to support Android development in that edition. There's also VS 2013 Community Edition, which is the same as VS Pro, but without the "you have to pay for it" thing. I haven't investigated if you can develop for Android using VS 2013, but I suspect that you can by developing your application and using the Android NDK to convert your native code to Adroid code.
As far as a typing interface for your android device, most mobile devices are blue tooth enabled. They make keyboards for that. Motorola even sold a keyboard for my old Motorola Xoom. Still, that would have been painful. I do my development work with two 24" monitors. Trying to do the same thing on an 8" tablet would drive me to find other work. 
Others have answered that there are apps for developing on android, so I won't address that issue.

Walt,
I don't believe there is an IDE that runs ON Android, but there is a pretty cool little IDE called NSBasic that runs in the Windows desktop that will deliver a program to an Android. I'm only just playing with it but writing an app on it was really pretty easy; you can develop for iOS OR Android with it because it emits Javascript and formats the page to run full-screen on just about any device (so it's tough to tell it apart from a native application). Further, I think you can use PhoneGap with it if you should want to develop for the App Stores. Check it out: www.nsbasic.com. It only costs about a hundred bucks and is constantly being improved and upgraded.

That's strange. I linked above to an IDE that runs on Android.

The sudden realisation that "that woman" has really become one's mother-in-law could do terrible things to a man's mind.
(Callous? Me? I can't do a damned thing to make the situation better or worse, and it's a pretty safe bet that they will sort themselves out, anyway.)

I wouldn't say it is completely sad. The silver lining is that the marriage will obviously end, which will be the best for everyone involved.
It does highlight one of the major problems of life in the UK, though.
Stupid licensing laws led to a ridiculous general attitude toward drinking, with every opportunity to drink ending up being treated as an opportunity to drink too much.
I've yet to be to a wedding in the UK where everyone didn't get far too drunk. Every other country where I've been to weddings, only a comparatively tiny percentage drank too much.
In this case, the groom got drunk and beat the cr@p out of his new bride. He would probably have ended up doing that every Friday night, anyway, so all this publicity has done her a favour.
In sort-of defence of the @rsehole's indefensible behaviour: he obviously wasn't ready to get married and have children, and the booze just brought it all out on the wedding day.
It all sucks, but it just highlights that it's better for all concerned if the marriage ceases to exist.
'Sides, she's cute, and maybe she'll find herself a nice developer who'll treat her right (by getting out of her hair, every Thursday, by going out to play D&D).

Mark, I'm not sure how many weddings you've been to in the UK, but I can't recall any myself where drunkenness was the norm. A quick count tells me I can remember going to 16. I'm not saying that nobody was drunk, but there wasn't anyone obviously so and there was no fighting! I'm not from a refined background (having been dragged up in Surrey Docks), so it's not a class thing. I'll be back there in December for another wedding and I'll be surprised if there are any problems there!
Now I've been to a few in Canada and my son got totally smashed at my daughter's (he went to sleep it off - no fighting) and one of my daughter-in-law's family got ejected from my son's wedding (some fighting!).
I agree with you about restrictive licensing and attitudes to booze are a problem. Countries like France and Italy have much fewer issues with alcoholism. Canada's licensing laws are more restrictive than the UK's and it's very common for youngsters to go off to university and get rat-arsed on a regular basis. I believe that this is also true in the US (frat boys, sorority girls).
In summary, I know binge drinking is a problem (not just in the UK) and open bars at weddings are a perfect opportunity for that. There are plenty enough bad things to say about the English (plenty of good too), but I don't see England as being a nation of drunken wife beaters.
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

OK, you went off into some kind of fantasy world between the parentheses, there.

That's true.

What has this got to do with being English? Scum like this husband are, unfortunately, endemic in every country.

He had to go through all the effort of beating her.
In the US he would have simply been able to shoot her, far more efficient.

Also, since muscle in no longer a factor - in the US, she just may have shot back at him.

Given recent reports it is more likely her unborn child would have reached out of her vagina, removed her gun from her purse, and shot both of them.

Chaveri -
Didn't you notice my exit line? It kind of flavors the whole thing.
[On the other hand, one of the other replies indicates, sadly, I wasn't as far from the mark as one would hope]
