1. Run 'SDK Setup.exe' from ADK_DWLD_PATH.
2. Select 'Virtual Device' Tab.
3. Select 'New...'.
4. Enter 'Android1.1' (Any name of your choice) in 'Name Field'.
5. Select 'Android 1.1 API Level 2' (Any platform of your choice) in 'Target Field'.

2. Select 'File' -> 'New' -> 'Project'.
3. Select 'Android Project' under 'Android'.
4. Press 'Next'
5. Enter 'Project Name' as 'Hello Android'
6. The 'Target Name' will shows all the current platform installed. I selected 'Android 1.1' (Emulator is for API 1.1)*
7. 'Application name' -> 'Hello, Android'.
8. 'Package name' -> 'com.example.helloandroid'.
9. 'Create Activity' -> 'HelloAndroid'.

Replace the content in 'HelloAndroid.java'.

Code::

package com.android.helloandroid;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class HelloAndroid extends Activity
{
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        TextView tv = new TextView(this);
        tv.setText("Hello, Android");
        setContentView(tv);
    }
}
