Android Development Basic - Setting up Windows's environment variables

When preparing a new development environment for android development, following environment variables are essential to be setup.

1) JAVA_HOME (e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24), // this is pointing to the Java JDK directory.
2) ANDROID_HOME (e.g. C:\Android\android-sdk),  // this is pointing to you installed Android SDK directory.
3) PATH (e.g. c:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools;   // this will be pointing to the common tools that you going to use in command prompt.
              c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin;
              %ANDROID_HOME%\tools; )

With the above environment variable setup, you can get started easily with android development.
