Now save it and go back again to developer site to check further requirement ( developer.android.com) . Here you will see that you have to download JDK 6 .
To download JDK 6 click the following link www.oracle.com/technetwork , Following screen will appear.
Click “Previous Releases ” > Java SE 6 > Java Development Kit 6u45
Downloading will start. Now you will have done with both of requirements. Great! Now its a time to check your download folder . This is your download folder with ADT bundle and JDK 6.
Now you have to install JDK . For this right click on Jdk-6u45-windows-x64 and run it , click next till you finish with your downloading.
Moving towards ADT bundle part, uncompress the folder ( adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030) and copy uncompress folder to some where that is useful for you instead of download folder .
Open this folder to check what is inside it. here you will find three major things inside it.

Double click on shortcut and run eclipse as an administrator. you will see startup screen,Finally you will install all of android environment successfully . Congratulation
