Let's get started by setting up the Windows environment.
Setting Up Windows
For the examples in this chapter we will be using the following tools:
The JDK (Java Development Kit)
The Android SDK (Software Development Kit)
The Android NDK (Native Development Kit)
An IDE (Integrated Development Environment): Eclipse

All components in this list were installed as shown in Chapter 1 so let's install Ant to
complete the installation of the tool needed.
