which eclipse version I should Download to start developing on Android ?
From This Site :http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
Thanks
Eclipse Classic 3.7.1. Anyway, it's already said on Android Developer page anyway: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
The "Eclipse Classic" version is recommended
Next time please do some little searching before asking, thank you.

Can Eclipse in conjunction with ADT still be used for Android Development (and if yes, how do I go about it) or should I just keep using Android Studio?
I tried setting up ADT on my Eclipse, but it wouldn't work (after many, many tries).
Any advice would be appreciated.
yes you can but the best practice for android development is by using Android Studio because linux users has also problem with eclipse. you can take help from below link
https://stuff.mit.edu/afs/sipb/project/android/docs/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html
but as per my suggestion you should use Android Studio because if you are using eclipse then you need to migrate the code also.
I am already using IntelliJ IDEA. Do I have to download all the Android Studio files (almost 1 GB)?
Can't I just download the SDK and continue on developing?
Yes, you can download only the SDK. You can find the download link here, under "SDK Tools Only".
My understanding is this: IntelliJ IDEA's Android plugin does not always have all the latest Android-specific features, developed by Google, that are already in Android Studio.
IDEA is fine too, but if you seriously do Android, just get Android Studio, you'll be better off with it.
(I use—and love—IntelliJ IDEA too for backend & web development. Having both installed is no problem. Who cares about 1 GB of disk space.)
Can anyone help me with installing the correct version of eclipse to use for developing android mobile applications with the associated plug ins needed
These videos by me :) can help you to set up Android development environment using Eclipse.
Here's the link : Set up android.
Caution : If you have been using Eclipse with ADT, be aware that Android Studio is now the official IDE for Android, so you should migrate to Android Studio to receive all the latest IDE updates. For help moving projects, see Migrating to Android Studio.
As Petey suggested in his comment, I would recommend giving AndroidStudio a spin as it is very well suited to Android programming. However, take a look at the eclipse ADT plugin which can be installed via the eclipse marketplace or a direct download from Google (Google ADT page).
That should give you enough information to get things rolling, but again I would strongly recommend trying to switch over to AndroidStudio. I think you will find the entire experience easier to get into and enjoy.
Here is the link :)
P.S. Why do people still use Eclipse while there is a GREAT tool for developing Android applications?
I have android sdk, I want to integrate this with eclipse Helio. From developer site, i need to do from downloading sdk again. Can any one tell the procedure to intall.
First you need to download Android Development Tools (ADT) plugin for your Eclipse. See http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/eclipse-adt.html.
Also, Here is link to a step by step tutorial that you may find useful:

Hope that helps. :)
I have downloaded Eclipse Helios for Java EE on my Mac. Now I want to develop an Android application. Can I use the same IDE for developing that android application?
I am using Eclipse IDE for Java EE to create webservices for applications. Also, now I got requirement to develop Android applications. Thats why, I want to use same IDE for both. Is that possible?
Yes, you just need to get the Android SDK from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html Then you will need to get the Eclipse plug in by going to Help > Install New Software and input the link: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ . This will give you the plugin you need.
All this can be found here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html
Newest Android SDK's work with the newest versions of Eclipse(you would have a problem few months back, especially in Linux).

This is really informative. You can also find whatever you want to start developing. Have fun
You should be able to. Just make sure you download the Android SDK and ADT.
