You can use PhoneGap. Visit http://phonegap.com/. It will let you develop cross platform applications using html, css and javasccript.

Also this is the "getting started" page of PhoneGap API. http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.4.0/guide_getting-started_android_index.md.html#Getting%20Started%20with%20Android

Cordova plugin: http://cordova.apache.org/

Happy coding :D

Yes, Eclipse is fine; Google provides an all-in-one package, see http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#download; for a HTML/JavaScript app your could have a look at PhoneGap (http://phonegap.com/). They have really good tutorials for beginners.
Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhoneGap for an overview of features.

There are others e.g. Titanium or Appcelerator (see http://developer.appcelerator.com/blog/2012/05/comparing-titanium-and-phonegap.html)
