This is a common problem with Eclipse, at least recently. I struggle with the same, although I'm not an Android developer, but I use 3.6.1, which is pretty old.
Parameters for inclusion:
- Disconnect it completely (not practical, IMHO)
- Filter packages that you do not need (filters like java-> appearance->)
- You have fewer dependencies in your project.
- Rotate Mylyn if you are not using it.
- Make sure there is enough heap space in Eclipse.
