Creating a New Android Project using Eclipse - ADT plugin

Summary:
Creating an ANDROID project basically involves
1. Creating an virtual device for emulating a physical mobile device
2. Creating a New Project

Important points:
Android programs are Java programs- so Java package naming conventions apply.
User-interface components can be created programmatically and declaratively.
However, best-practices suggest separating the view presentation layer from the logic layer.
The main entry point: A class which extends the Activity super class (simplest case) containing a function called onCreate( Bundle bunde)
Data-binding occurs via an automatically generated R.java file for accessing variables from *.xml based files.
