Q:

Alternate Android Development Environments

Currently I am using Eclipse IDE with ADT plugin for my Android application development. Is there any other development tools for this purpose on Windows Environment. I am specially interested in any such tool which allows the UI preparation with drag and drop of components (like drag and drop buttons, textboxes etc).
And I'm not interested in HTML5, CSS based IDEs like Titanium Studio or PhoneGap like frameworks. Looking for a tool which would allow me to develop in native Java but with rich UI design features. Additional Eclipse plugin which provides this type of UI preparation would also do.

A:

Android was built with keeping Eclipse (for Development) in mind.
And its officially supported by Android.
I will recommend you if you are coming to Android as fresh, Use Eclipse and understand.
As it support Drag and Drop of control (from XML, I wonder if you are ignorant of that.)
and if you are coming with another IDE, options are available
