I am starting into the development of mobile app. I want to start with Android. I am planning to develop application using emulator.

Please recommend me where to start, which book I should follow? Which IDE and tools?

I am use to Microsoft development stack with 5 years of experience.

The best place to start is:

http://developer.android.com

The "Dev Guide".

Android is one of the best documentet Environments IMHO. And this is not only technical. You get a huge load of examples there as well.

I definetly recommend "Eclipse" with the "ADT" (Android Developer Tools). All of that is documented in high detail in the mentioned developer Guide.

You should work through the Android development tutorials at http://developer.android.com/resources/browser.html?tag=tutorial and go from there. Eclipse is the standard IDE.

Motodev Studio from Motorola is a good IDE. http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/motodevstudio/download/

About books, Android documentatio it's self a good reference.

Eclipse with ADT is the de-facto standard for writing Android apps.

Googles, developer guide, is the best introduction.

Once out of the learning curve, I highly recommend using a phone for development, and not the emulator, as it tends to be slow, and has many things it does not actually emulate.
