I tried the LiveCode official guide "How to become an Android Developer on the PC" and the reccomendations of BarrySumpter http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=8137
Still had no luck. I placed a ticket and got a quick response and was told to download LiveCode v4.6.4 which fixed this issue, I did but still got the same problem.

Finally, while attending to the webinar I did a fresh install and activated LiveCode with the automatic option. I tried to tell LiveCode where the Android SDK was and failed again. As I closed all the windows I noticed there was a window prompting me to activate LiveCode, which I had already done. So I did, once again, and being the stubborn person I am I tried to tell LiveCode where the Android SDK folder was and voilá it worked !

I tried it on another machine which I had previously installed LiveCode and ......

So, try this it might help you as it helped me.
Procedure:
--------------
1) Run LiveCode if you already have it installed (don't forget to install the JDK and the Android SDK if you haven't done so, I just accepted the default locations)
2) Go to Help -> Re-License LiveCode
3) Activate LiveCode, even if you already activated your license
4) Then go to Edit -> Preferences -> Mobile Support
5) Browse for your Android SDK folder where it says "Location Of Android development SDK root" (look for the folder named android-sdk inside the Android folder)
6) LiveCode automatically locates your Java SDk (in my case v1.7)
7) Pat yourself on the back for a good job and start testing LiveCode !

I hope this helps somebody, if it does please comment so other know, much better if you can try it on Mac OS, and Linux.
It worked for me with Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Pro SP3 and Windows Vista all of them 32 bits and JDK 1.6.3 and 1.7.
