Here's a site to get you some of your questions answered.

If you're serious about developing for Android, you need Eclipse IDE from Eclipse - The Eclipse Foundation open source community website. to work in. Java and Android SDKs integrate seamlessly with it and you get a very slick development environment.

Have a look at Basic4android (Basic for Android) - Rapid Application Development
Looks & works like Visual Basic. You'll still need the Android SDK and Java SDK as Basic4Android generates the Java/Android code for you.
