As i know , Android studio is more generally as it combines the Eclipse ADT project into a single file or project
but you can also search to get more information
i hope that i helped you

Hi Derp,

Currently I believe that Android Studio is one of the best tools for Android Development, even if you are a beginner. It is easy to install, all the tools are already integrated in the IDE, there are always updates with new features and bugfixes, it is light compared to Eclipse, has a better access to sample code projects and many other benefits.

Besides google already dropped support for ADT as you can see here.

So if you want to start with Android development and be up to date with the current developer tools I would go with Android Studio.

Good Luck!

I don't know what exactly you are looking for but to start with Android and consequently with Android Studio check the Udacity courses
- Android Development for Beginners
- Developing Android Apps

These courses are awesome! If you are looking for something specific about Android Studio there are tons of videos on youtube.

Derp you must have a Java JDK (Java Development Kit) installed on your machine. From what I can see in your screenshots you are trying to use a Java JRE (Java Runtime Environment).

Yes! It takes a long time because it is downloading Android SDK files... It will depend on the speed of your connection :P

How can i edit this strip

This "strip" is the android toolbar or action bar. :P
Well if you want to change the application name you should check the string.xml on resources directory. If you want to change the color and stuff you should check for resources on toolbar styling, check the toolbar and action bar sections here for example.
