You could try using a deprecated version of jdk/eclipse. Also there are other IDE's similar to eclipse! Here is another popular IDE called IntellJ Idea. http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/

You can try using this as a plug-in http://www.genymotion.com/ it's an android emulator. there are tons of tutorials that will help you implement this emulator in your ide.

If you can't use the jdk, you could just use android studio. Have you checked your issue via stack overflow or a google search?

Can you not update your OS so you can use the latest version? I thought Apple were allowing users to upgrade straight for Snow Leopard ot Mavericks for free?
