This document provides instructions for installing the Android SDK and creating a basic "StockTicker" application in Android. It outlines downloading and configuring the Eclipse IDE, Android SDK, and ADT plugin. It then explains creating a new Android project, describing the basic project structure and architecture of the StockTicker app, which will include a Home Screen widget powered by a service provider. The document aims to guide a user through getting set up with the Android development environment and building their first simple app.
