"Source Not Found", Debugging Android Application in Eclipse

When I am trying to look at platform JAR or when I am debugging my android application in Eclipse, the following screen always show.

enter image description here

I have read some of the posts online and understand that Android SDK does not come with Source Code. But how can I download the correct version of source code and attach in Eclipse?

I guess the following link provides the right solution for me, however, unfortunately it is outdated and I can download the source code for only Cupcake(1.5), Donut(1.6) & Eclair(2.1).

Can anyone provide me the link to download the source code for Ice Cream Sandwich(4.0.3)? Any help will be much appreciated.

Solution

  • My problem was solved by following a few steps below.

    1) I downloaded the source code via Android SDK Manager. (The sources are downloaded to the source directory located in "path_to_android_sdk/sources/android-xx”). xx is the API level number (15 for 4.0.3). Android Versions and API Levels can be found in the following link for your convenience.

    2) I zipped the downloaded file. (android-15 in this case)

    3) In "Source Not Found" page, I clicked "Attach Source" button and chose the zip file that I archived in step 2.
