More or less as it says on the tin.
Before I even contemplate downloading the SDK, I was wondering if there was any way of testing Android apps that I'd write without an Android phone available to me? I'm unsure as to whether or not the tools that come with the SDK come with an emulator like VS does for Windows Mobile.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but maybe I'm searching for the wrong thing.
Edit I don't suppose there's anything that'll let me write widgets on/for an emulated version of the interface HTC use on the Hero/G2 either is there? Not that it would matter that much.

Sure. Just get an android emulator and use that for your development. there are free emulators available online as well as tutorials and lots of books available for android OS development. Save this answer.
To become an app developer with no experience, you will need to learn how to code, build your network, create a work portfolio, get involved in some projects, and apply for internships or basic entry-level positions. Landing your first app developer job begins with learning to code.
Fortunately, app-building platforms, like BuildFire, allow you to create an app for iOS and Android simultaneously. You can create everything one time, without any code, and launch your own app on both platforms.
There's an emulator available as part of the SDK.

I'd add that the emulator is really quite comprehensive. Things like camera previews don't actually display camera data, but they put block animations in their place. All in all it's one of the best mobile emulators I've seen to date. Probably better even than gasp the iPhone simulator.
