Setup Android-SDK & JDK
Getting setup for JDK (Java Development Kit) and Android-SDK (Android Software Development Kit) will allow you to run functions for screenshots, debugging, app development and other functions/applications. Here is a short list of steps and download links in order to do this:
1. Create a new folder called Android directly under C: (C:\Android). (While this step is not required, this is important to make things easier and I have written several .bat files that depend on "C:\android\android-sdk-windows" being setup this way).
2. Download SDK for your platform and EXTRACT to C:\Android directory. Download from here - 22mb approximately
3. Download and INSTALL JDK 6 update 17 (or newer.) Download from here - 72mb approximately
4. Restart PC (required)Last edited by Danation; 12-27-2009 at 02:13 PM.

Here's my question. Is it better to install just the Android stuff, or get the development tools from Motorola?
Or are they the same?

Well, MotoDev Studio states that it is a full IDE (Integrated Development Environment). It can be used as an alternative to Android-SDK and Eclipse as it already has *parts* of Eclipse built in, it could be considered more packaged I guess. Either one would be fine but I think Android-SDK+Eclipse Full > MotoDev because MotoDev only have parts of Eclipse. But TBH, I haven't messed around too much with MotoDev.
Here are some links to consider:
MotoDev Studio from Motorola

I can't say for sure(not a true dev) But i installed MotoDev and it looks identical to Eclipse, I think Moto just watered it down for Android specifically. The SDK is separate from the MotoDev install and i didn't have to set the path to it...But that may be i had Eclipse already installed.
I did have to manually put in the http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ to install and update ADT though.
In the past i have used Eclipse to do some programming tutorials and also to convert .9.pngs for themes into their binary versions and MotoDev seems to be fine for this much at least.
