This is all about to be outdated. Google is making the switch from Eclipse to IntelliJ (Android Studio). There new program is out in beta now and I in the middle on switching over. I don't see any point on learning a soon to be outdated development setup. To prepare for the change Google put together a good tutorial series online.
https://www.udacity.com/course/ud853 It is free to go through but if you want to actually have someone grade your stuff and one on one there is a $150 a month charge. This actually does an excellent job of not only teaching Android Studio but also the basics of programming for Android. Assuming you know some basic programming already.
