It's difficult imagining how you'd set up a development environment for
Android without access to the Internet. However, once you do have that
set up and working, I can assure you that you will not absolutely need
access to it thereafter (as long as the app you're developing doesn't
require it).
I have a document on what I had to do to get Android development
working. I don't know that this will help, especially in light of your
indictment of other tutorials out there, but you're welcome to it.

One grasping-at-straws idea I can think of is to get an archive the
update site for the Android plugins and then install it from that local
archive. For example, from somewhere you have internet access, download
the update site and save it to a portable drive or some other mechanism
that you can then get onto the internet-prohibited computer. Eclipse
allows you to install from a local archive of an update site.
This is assuming that the Android update site can be obtained as an
archive; I don't know for sure that it can, but seeing as it's open
source, it seems likely.

I just noticed that there's a link to an update site archive of the ADT
9.0 preview on this page: http://tools.android.com/download
For 8.0.x, you can get it from this page:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html#troublesho oting

Nice site though I disagree with:
"I found that the Android development plug-ins are too heavy and cause
Eclipse (both Helios and Galileo) to crash six ways from Sunday. After
a week of frustration I reached the conclusion that you cannot install
Android for use in Eclipse JEE".
I've been running Android in Eclipse Helios JEE on Ubuntu for months.

This was written on Windows. I've not had much trouble with Ubuntu
either. I'm glad you're successful.
