Like I said before, "vista xp" [sic] should work for you. It's just that the tools (Eclipse and the JDK) are actually included in Linux distributions, so installing them is pretty much a couple of clicks. Also Linux/Unix are generally better for software development, as many of the widely used tools are Unix tools; but if you're just running Eclipse and Android, Windows should work.

thx for kind reply. But after downloading from where i should start?
If you're comfortable with software engineering in Java, you should be able to figure it out from the docs on the Android page:
If you're not a Java programmer, then you're going to be completely lost. You need to learn to program in Java first. if you have C or C+ + experience, this should be pretty easy.
Secondly, Do i need mobile computer for this purpose or i can do it with my vista xp ?
I don't know what a "vista xp" is, but it sounds like a computer running Windows. This should work for you, but in my experience you're going to be better off with a Linux system, or a Mac (I've had somewhat fewer problems on Linux).
