Download the Application Developer Kit (ADK).
It contains all you need and a bunch of emulators.

You can integrate it within Eclipse, debug etc..

It's quite cool once you get started.

Taken the android development kit.But still having a hard time learning android development.Please suggest some resources.

Almost everything you need is online.

I would definitely (and have) start with the simple "Helloworld" examples and go from there.

No one but yourself through trial and error is going to turn you into an Android developer overnight.

Get an introductory book that teaches at least Android 2.x, such as Android in Action. And read http://android-developers.blogspot.de/. And play with lots of little examples apps.

Another option is http://developer.android.com/guide/basics/what-is-android.html
