I suggest you visit the Application Development section, where all they do is creat apps.

Moved again to the Dev 101 section. It's better fit for this sort of post. =)

Choose _some_ IDE for Java coding ex. Eclipse, Netbeans, IntelliJ IDEA Community Editon, then download Android SDK.
Then you should configure AVD (emulator).
That's it. Any other questions?

If your just starting off, I'd recommend using Eclipse its not the best but will have the most answers and examples as it is the most common and the one listed for the install instructions on Googles site itself. After you've gotten your feet wet so to speak I would recommend you try IntelliJ and Netbeans.

I'd say to experiment with Eclipse, as that is most commonly used for starting Java Development. Make sure you have a compatable Version of Java, and then get the Android SDK, from there, install the Plugins necessary to develop Android Applications on Eclipse. Be sure to have Patience, Time, and Dedication ready for this.
It depends on your app. Can you create it with HTML, CSS, and/or Javascript? If so, build it with your favorite tools, adding responsive web design techniques so it'll fit the various screen sizes out there. Once you get it working in Google and Safari on your desktop, then it's time to learn how to put your files into Eclipse and create the file that will be installed on devices.
