Where to download the complete source code of android.jar?

I downloaded the repository: git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/frameworks/base.git

But I found it's not enough. For example, most of the source code for the packages like java., javax. were not there.

What else repository do I need to download?

Solution

  • First, that's not really the source code to android.jar. The android.jar on your development machine is a JAR of stubs for the non-hidden classes and methods that form the basis of the SDK.

    Second, downloading one Git repository usually isn't particularly useful if you want to work with the code. You are going to need all of the repositories, as is documented on the Android Open Source Project site.

    Some of what you are seeking are in the libcore repository. Other classes are in other repositories, presumably.
