Android development setup on Windows

Well... what is your question, exactly? Hardware recommendations? Software recommendations?

I think the biggest choice you'll face is Android Studio vs. Eclipse. If you have prior Eclipse experience, use Eclipse, if not, I'd go with Android Studio. Just download the entire bundle with the SDK included and go to town.

I don't know what you mean by 'database usage'.

 

You can either use Eclipse with ADT or Android Studio, I use Eclipse because I'm used to it but people say Android Studio is better. So I don't know, up to you, but here's a basic tutorial for beginners (uses eclipse) if you are interested:

Android Application Development Tutorial - Kilobolt

That tutorial is very basic but it's good as a starting point, of course you should check the official Google documentations for all Android functions and such afterward.

 

Stickies bumping it down?

No, that part of your post was clear, I just didn't understand what you meant by 'I could do with database usage at a later date.'.

Here's the Android Studio instructions, full and complete:
1) Download Android Studio and install it

2) Create a project!

The default screen layouts for the basic activity contain 'hello world' text.

3) Push it to your phone
Click the green 'Play' looking button or choose Run > Run app, and make sure your device is plugged in and ADB is enabled.

Congratulations! You're now an Android developer. That really is all there is to it. Ok, I lied, do you have the USB drivers for your phone? You might need a driver, you might not.

What device are you developing on? This would be useful information.
