Those are not especially useful searches. Eclipse is an IDE, not a
programming language. You do not "call a method in eclipse", any more
than you "call a method in Windows Notepad".

Newcomers to Java need to learn Java before doing anything with
Android. There are dozens upon dozens of books on Java, gigabytes of
tutorials and such online, courses (both collegiate and professional),
and so forth. Once you have learned Java, then and only then start in
on learning Android.

A Google search for:

java beginners forum

turns up things like:
