UPDATE: Todays time android automatic suggest and check marked the required packages.
I am so much confuse about installing Android SDK packages. What packages should I install from this long list. I am beginner student and it not make any sense to me what things does what.
I need a minimalistic setup for very basic or beginner level app development.
what the best installation for eclipse (minimum packages).
Give me best idea for this install packages.
If you are planning to develop for API 15 and above, then just download API 15-23 to get the minimum download as well as maximum tools. API 15 is what I use as it takes up 90+% of the Android market, and is a good choice.
I would recommend you download all the Extras, especially the HAXM if you are planning to use the Android emulator to develop instead of testing your app on a real device.
For the Tools/Build-Tools/Platform-Tools, I suggest only downloading the latest version, and if you are planning to save space, delete it and download the next latest version which can be seen in the Rev. column. As a beginner, I recommend you don't try out the Tools(Preview Channel) as they can still contain glitches or are unstable as they are still in alpha.

So I got this idea that I want to implement as an Android application. Now what I have learned so far is Java, C and C++. As I understand, Java would be the smartest choice right? Have to mention tough, my experience is of a 1st year CS student's.
So I basically want to make a application that you can launch from the phone and it will also have a little database and fetch info into it from the users Facebook account.
So my questions are these:
The facebook part seems to be the hardest one to me. How is this done? Are there any articles around where I could read about it.
Second is, should I develop the application in Java?
And third one is... If I do it in Java, I see that Google has a lot of stuff up for learning all of it. It also features two development kits. One is a stable version which works with eclipse and the other one is a preview thing which is a 0.xx version.
The second one seems to have all thoes fancy thing tough like having the phone preview on the screen all the time so that you can see how it looks like on the phone. And it seems to me that the Eclipse version does not have such features. So which one would be smarter to pick?
Today, most apps for android are written in Java and with Eclipse. I would recommend you to do the same, because it is the easiest way at the moment (IMHO).
The Android Studio is still in the alpha state (as you said), so it can have some bugs. That's why you should use Eclipse (Android Studio looks great though).

Edit for "how apps looks like in eclipse":
You have 3 options in eclipse to get a view of your app:
1. The xml-layout builder: in Android, you can create the layout of the app via xml or code. In Eclipse you have a preview of your applayout which you designed in xml (How it looks like)
2. Upload the app on your phone and watch it
3. Upload it on an android-emulator, so you don't have to use a phone

Today I started working with Android Studio 0.3.6 and I need to export a library to my project. I found this question and I tried the different ways to add an external library but when I try to import it does not find the library namespaces.
If you read my answer on Adding external library in Android studio 0.3.6 it should give you the most up-to-date information for 0.3.6.
Sorry, I know it's confusing, and there's conflicting information out there. That's because the right functionality is slowly rolling out in Android Studio, and some of the functionality that was there didn't do the right thing, meaning developers had to come up with complex workarounds. Depending on what version of Android Studio was out at the time various Stack Overflow questions were asked, you may get different advice that no longer applies.
Currently most features of Android Studio seems to be broken. I had the same issue and came to a real final solution: avoid Android Studio and use the origin IDE.

What skills does it take to develop an Android app?
How easy is it to publish one in the app market?
Does it need any previous experience?
This question serves as a personal to-do list on what to learn. I would like to develop an Android app in the near future.
What skills does it take to develop an Android app?
You must have core knowledge of JAVA to start android development and a having good knowledge of xml,layouts designing,Database implementation and SQL Queries.
How easy is it to publish one in the app market?
Check out the Step by Step Explanation of Pusblishing Application on Market and also Developer guide
Does it need any previous experience?
Its not necessary but having a bit knowledge of Android would be more better and Core knowledge of JAVA is enough.
If you would like to develop an Android app in the near future.
I suggest you to start with Getting Started in Android
First thing to build an android app
You should have good skills in java,classes,XMl user interface
You should have good knowledge of database its functions and queries.
One should be hardworking and dedicated for work
These all points are enough to build an app in android

I've recently learned core Java and want to develop my skills further with practice of programming. Instead of starting out with my own project, i would like to follow a well documented and organized project which would help me understand the language better.
Can anyone please suggest some open source projects to get involved in ?
look at http://java-source.net/
my personal favourite open source java project is JDownloader
I would advise you go through some of the Free / Open Source Software sites that host the projects and start filtering your searches for Java projects with a high number of users / downloads, as they tend to be fairly mature and will allow you to start looking through them.
My main recommendation is Arianne (http://arianne.sourceforge.net/). It's won several awards and is quite professional. There are only two listed developers, and they seem quite friendly. Plus, it's a multi-tier video game engine, so there's plenty of fun you could get out of working on it.
Otherwise, check-out java.net, kenai.com, and sourceforge.net for more possibilities.
If you want an early project with potential, there are plenty, but it can often be the luck of the drawer with those.
Following are good places to contribute in open source projects..
Sourceforge
IBM DEV
I also Advise you to use Android (Mobile development) . You can make business apps and Mobile Apps using Android.

I have a old LG MG280 cellphone that I'd like to code some simple things for. It has Java support, but I know that it is not simply making a Java ME application. It has to follow some specific specs otherwise the app will not run. Does anyone know what those specs are?
JavaME platforms are made up of a profile and a configuration. Most mobile phones use some combination of the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) and the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC).
The LG MG280 you are interested in uses MIDP-2.0 and CLDC-1.1, which is pretty standard.
To get started with development you'll probably want to be using the Sun Java Wireless Toolkit (frequently abbreviated to SJWT or WTK). Or, if you are a windows user, you can use the (newer) JavaME SDK 3.0. This gives you tools needed to compile/package applications and an emulator which lets you run/debug application on a desktop computer.
There are numerous tutorials available online. Here's a few to get you started:
http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2005/02/09/j2me1.html
http://developers.sun.com/mobility/midp/articles/wtoolkit/
http://developers.sun.com/mobility/learn/
http://www.developer.com/java/j2me/article.php/1561591
Find out which J2ME profile it has - MIDP etc. Then find an appropriate tutorial, such as this one.
