Following is a step by step guide in creating your first "Hello World" Android application.It was created with the following setup:

Windows (I happen to be using Windows 7, but any flavor of windows will do)
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (v3.5 Galileo)
Java Platform (JDK 6 Update 18)
Android SDK Tools, Revision 4

Let's get started...

Create a new Android project (File > New > Android Application)

Set your project properties

Project Name: Hello World
Build Target: Select Android 2.1
Application Name: Hello World
Package Name: com.android.test
Create Activity: HelloWorld

Press "Finish"

Now you have your project created let's write some code! Your code is located in a file called HelloWorld.java in the src folder. Your screen layout file is main.xml in the layout directory.

Let's take a look at the main.xml (layout) file. Open main.xml. You should now see it in "Layout" mode like this...

and if you select "main.xml" you can view/edit the xml markup

Let's remove the default textview to cleanup our display

Return to "Layout" mode
Right click on "Hellow World, HelloWorld!" TextView and select "Remove"

Drag a button on to layout

View/edit the XML by clicking on "main.xml"

Change android:text="@+id/Button01" to android:text="Click Me"
Save your changes

Your main.xml file now is complete and should look like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<linearlayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >

<button android:text="Click Me" android:id="@+id/Button01" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></Button>
</LinearLayout>

Now we have a button let's make something happen when the button is pressed.

Open "HelloWorld.java" file. There is already code for when the class is created that set's the content view.

@Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }

Add the highlighted code on line #5. Create a button object and reference the button we placed on our layout. After you add the following line of code you will get an error. This is because you need to import "android.widget.Button". The fastest way to import is the hotkey Ctrl-SHIFT-O. This will add all missing imports.

@Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Button01);
    }

@Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Button01);
        button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
           @Override
           public void onClick(View v) {
           }
         });        
    }

Now let's add some code in the method "OnClick" to pop up a message when the button is clicked. Add the highlighted code on line #9.

@Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Button01);
        button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
           @Override
           public void onClick(View v) {
            Toast.makeText(HelloWorld.this, "Hello World", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
           }
         });        
    }

Now let's run our new application.

Select "Run > Run"

You will get a dialog "Run As". Select "Android Application"

You may receive "Android AVD Error" if you have not setup an android emulator device.

Select yes to setup a new Android Virtual Device
Select "New"

Create the following new Android Virtual Device

Name: Android2.1
Target: Android 2.1 API Level 7
SD card Size: 4000 MiB
Leave the rest at the default settings

Press "Create AVD". Be patient it will take a minute to create your new AVD.
Select your new AVD and run your application.

When you click the button you should see the following

NOTE: If you receive an error try the following:

Try removing "@Override" on line 18.
change line 15 from "setContentView(R.layout.main);" to "this.setContentView(R.layout.main);"

Complete source for project
HelloWorld.java

package com.android.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class HelloWorld extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Button01);
        button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
           @Override
           public void onClick(View v) {
            Toast.makeText(HelloWorld.this, "Hello World", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
           }
         });        
    }
}

main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<linearlayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >
<button android:text="Click Me" 
 android:id="@+id/Button01" 
 android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"></Button>
</LinearLayout>

If you import the project and receive a Must Override a Superclass Method Error, your targeting the wrong JDK version. Go to my blog post to resolve this error. http://androidcodemonkey.blogspot.com/2011/10/how-to-solve-must-override-superclass.html
