Downloading Android 5.1 Source

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and i just followed each and every step in this link. After installing jdk, Git, creating working directory, i want to download Android 5.1 latest revision of source .

$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b

what is the correct command to download 5.1. Can you tell me how much size of the source code is?

Solution

  • The instructions say do this

    repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.0.1_r1

    But use the following link to replace android-4.0.1_r1 with the source version of your choice.

    https://source.android.com/source/build-numbers.html#source-code-tags-and-builds

    Since you want the latest 5.1, that would be android-5.1.1_r30 at the time of this post.

    So, your command would be 

    ANDROID_TARGET=android-5.1.1_r30
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b $ANDROID_TARGET
