Let’s say you want to setup Android and Java dev env on portable usb disk.
Basically idea is Android app IDE most used Eclipse for many years by Google but now move to Android Studio IDE, both will use same SDK so can share one common copy.
1 portable JDK
install latest JDK for example JDK 8 from Oracle site, install to portable driver
L:\Java\jdk1.8.0_60
setup Java env in Windows System env:
create new JAVA_HOME JAVA_HOME=L:\Java\jdk1.8.0_60 add JAVA_HOME to end of PATH ...;%JAVA_HOME%\bin
you can verify from cmd, should run java and javac from anyplace.
2 portable Android Studio setup
1) download zip package for AS and SDK from

Latest stable AS version is 1.5.
2) unzip to portable usb disk L

L:\android\asdk
3) setup JDK and SDK location for AS

2) setup JRE for Eclipse
You don’t really need JDK javac for Eclipse which coming with build in Java compiler, but need to setup JRE.
So we use JRE8 from JDK8 since portable JDK ready there.
Window/Preferences/Java/Installed JREs:
L:\Java\jdk1.8.0_60\jre
3) install ADT plugin from google
Help/Software Updates/Install New Software
Now use Add button to add ADT Plug-in as name and https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
4) setup SDK
we use portable SDK which used with Android Studio,
Window/Preferences/Android/SDK Location:
L:\android\asdk
5) IDE theme
install Color Theme:
Help→Install New Software
press Add Site
enter Eclipse Color Theme as the name and http://eclipse-color-theme.github.com/update as the URL
config Color theme:
