Hello, I am starting to develop android applications. Can any one suggest me which version of eclipse should I use? I see there are 11 versions. I am confused with these:
You need to install version 3.5. The ADT plug-in is yet not compatible with 3.6. You can choose from any of the following downloads:

Also, for testing make sure you check out Robotium: http://code.google.com/p/robotium/
I literally did this 1 hour ago.
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/
Eclipse 3.5 for Java Developer is the best option for you and 3.6 version is good but not at all because of compatibility issues.
The ADT plug-in is yet not compatible with 3.6
I have been using Eclipse 3.6 with ADT for the past three months for developing applications on Android. I haven't faced any issues so far. It really good and working fine.
