How to setup android development on windows 7 pro

Question

Interested in Android but new in development. I am using windows 7 PRO for android app development. I did the following and I encountered this error msg : failed to load the JNI shared library

I took the following steps:

1. Create a folder with name : AndroidSDK in c:\\ Program files (x86)

2. • Downloaded the Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and run the Android Installer
   • use the suggested folder name Android SDK and place it in AndroidSDK in Program files (x86)

3. run the SDK Manager and installed all required packages

4. Download Eclipse Classic 4.2.1 from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ .

   • after extracting the file, Copy and paste the Eclipse Folder in AndroidSDK ( this folder in C:\\Program files (x86))

5. Have tried both JDK 6 and JDK 7 from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7u7-downloads-1836413.html

   • Install it under Enclipse Folder:
     When double click on the Eclipse application ico, I got this error msg failed to load the JNI shared library

Can you help me how to setup Andriod development on windows 7 pro?

Thanks

Make sure that your JDK is 64 and that your Eclipse is 64-bit.
