For Android development, some questions about Java SDK and 32/64 bit version

I'm going to get my feet wet in Android development, and I had some questions about the Java SDK as it relates to Android coding.

I run Win 7 x64 - is it better if I run a 32-bit JDK or 64-bit JDK? I have done some searches and continue to find conflicting answers.

Also, if I am going to install the SDK, should I first remove the Java startup time on my computer? Does the SDK support the same goal? Or do I need both installed at the same time?

Thanks! And I'm sorry if you guys already heard these questions. (At first I tried to find the information, I promise!) :)

You need to install 32-bit and 64-bit JDKs. Without the 32-bit JDK, the Android plugin for Eclipse will not be installed. You do not need to delete existing JREs.

EDIT: This answer only applies to Eclipse with an Android plugin that is no longer supported for Android. For Android Studio, if you have 64-bit Windows, I think you only need 64-bit Java. (Since everything is constantly changing, this editing eventually aligns with my original answer in obsolescence. Refer to the latest system requirements docs, currently download the page here at the bottom of Android Studio .)
