I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus Smartphone that I got about a year ago just for that very purpose. I just never got around to it. Now I have the time -- just moved to a new place, getting settled in, and trying to be disciplined enough to get started. First off, did a quick survey of Android Dev Resources, and realized that the best resource is in fact the Android Developer Platform in http://developer.android.com/about/index.html.
I have an Ubuntu OS which I totally adore, and with which I can do so many things with. I had my Eclipse and Java JDK already set up in my system (you can refer to http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/creating-project.html if you still don't have this setup). I just needed to start up my Eclipse, then install the Android ADT (Android Development Tools) Plugin through the Help->Install New Software, Add, then enter the repository name: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/.
Now I'm all set!
I have quite a few ideas for apps, but first I need to say "Hello World!"
