Android SDK source code

I wish to have the source code of Android SDK to get a better idea of how certain features/aspects work especially the ones that are not well documented . i really dont wish to get into all the trouble of setting up a CVS especially after looking at the steps here (http://source.android.com/download).
So anyone kind enough willing to send me a zipped one ? i want it the latest 1.5 SDK.
Thanks in advance for helping me out.

gonna have to be the one that tells you this, and i mean no disrespect by what i say
if you are too lazy to set something up in order to do something then you probably shouldn't be doing it. people are willing to help you get it set up, but you are gonna have to do it yourself unless you find some extremely kind soul to get it for you. personally i would like to recompile the cource code for cupcake to make my own build(include my favorite apps) but i don't feel like setting it up so i know i am SOL

No one will help you until you can learn to help yourself. We're not here to do your work for you. You can google just as well as we can. So get up and get it for yourself.

If you just want to download a couple of files, or you only want to be looking at files, you can do it easily without installing git on your computer by using the gitweb interface:
http://android.git.kernel.org/

Do you have eyes? Can you read?
Installing Repo
Repo is a tool that makes it easier to work with Git in the context of Android. For more information about Repo, see Using Repo and Git.
To install, initialize, and configure Repo, follow these steps:
1. Make sure you have a ~/bin directory in your home directory, and check to be sure that this bin directory is in your path:
$ cd ~
$ mkdir bin
$ echo $PATH
2. Download the repo script and make sure it is executable:
$ curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo >~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Initializing a Repo client
1. Create an empty directory to hold your working files:
$ mkdir mydroid
$ cd mydroid
2. Run repo init to bring down the latest version of Repo with all its most recent bug fixes. You must specify a URL for the manifest:
$ repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git
* If you would like to check out a branch other than "master", specify it with -b, like:
$ repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b cupcake
3. When prompted, configure Repo with your real name and email address. If you plan to submit code, use an email address that is associated with a Google account.
A successful initialization will end with a message such as
repo initialized in /mydroid
Your client directory should now contain a .repo directory where files such as the manifest will be kept.
What will my name and email be used for?
To use the Gerrit code-review tool, you will need an email address that is connected with a registered Google account (which does not have to be a Gmail address). Make sure this is a live address at which you can receive messages. The real name that you provide here will show up in attributions for your code submissions.
What is a manifest file?
The Android source files are divided among a number of different repositories. A manifest file contains a mapping of where the files from these repositories will be placed within your working directory when you synchronize your files.
Getting the files
To pull down files to your working directory from the repositories as specified in the default manifest, run
$ repo sync
For more about repo sync and other Repo commands, see Using Repo and Git.
The Android source files will be located in your working directory under their project names.

Condensed. Type the following:
$ curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo >~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
$ mkdir mydroid
$ cd mydroid
$ repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git
$ repo sync

Now exactly how hard is it to do that?

@jashsu
Thanks, ive used the git browser a lot but i wish to have the source in my IDE for quicker and easier navigation.
@everyone who replied to me
All of you has misunderstood me, im not being lazy or anything, it's just that google has provided steps for linux and mac users and im a windows user.
Im not asking for anyone to do it for me, i should have been clear in my request, does anyone have it ? im pretty sure that lots of developers has done it before and willing to aid me on this one. Come on people, i expected you to be a bit more welcoming than this.

On windows you have a couple of options. You could just setup a linux VM and follow the process above quite easily. That is what I do. You can even copy the sources back to your windows host if you prefer that. Or you can give it a try by installing cygwin on windows. You might be able to at least checkout the sources. I haven't tried the cygwin setup so I can't be 100% sure if it works.

... OR, you can quit being a ***** and install a proper OS. Or at least install GIT, which comes with BASH and can run the script in exactly the same manner.

ohhh you got me there. Your imaginary girlfriend is probably proud of you after beating me with that genius phrase.
Now people, installing linux on my machine or running it on a vm then following all these instructions and using these tools is a long tedious process that will take lot of time, it's just a source code for god's sake and not launching a spaceship, i was hoping for a gentleman to help me on this (who already has the source the code checked out) and willing to send it to me. that's all.
Thanks everyone for your time.

here's what i see, you joined this forum in hopes of just getting spoonfed, we don't like to spoon feed. setting up a VM takes about an hour including install time of the OS on the VM and setting up linux on your machine takes about 45 minutes. linux is a much better operating system ESPECIALLY if you want to develop for android because android is UNIX based and uses UNIX commands. it's not that hard to get the source code yourself, hell you could even just get a linux live cd and use that to get the source code, then just copy it to your windows drive.
this thread needs to be locked because this person is disrespecting everyone on these forums by asking us to do the work for him.

All you need is Git, no new os or anything. There is a Git client for Windows. Download that, then:
open command prompt.
cd to whereever you want to download the data to
git clone git://android.git.kernel.org + project path.
Sit back and wait.

Yup 0day is right.
By the way, while I would agree that Linux is the best platform to work on Android, I think overly antagonistic comments like "... OR, you can quit being a ***** and install a proper OS." do more harm than benefit for the FOSS movement. Just my $0.02

[DEV/GUIDE][01/14] Compile Cm7 on Evo | We're all here for the Kangbang!

Thank you to the CYANOGENMOD TEAM for this source and rom. I am doing this only because I feel since this is open source some of us should be able to help. So I figured with something like this we could help out the team if anyone knows the code and can submit it. This isn't some secret and its not against any rules. I am just making it easier to get people to help out the cm with code for bug fixes to get this phone compiling perfect for cyanogenmod. I will not modify any code, this is strictly all CM code and I will not modify any code. This is gingerbread from the cm repo. VERY VERY UNSTABLE!
On that note I will be updating this every so often when I think there is enough code to make a difference merged. Mainly for those who can't compile themselves will have a place to get a rom.
This is not made for just anyone. No one is to blame but you for what you do to your phone. I am just giving people the tools. I just wanted to let people know if they are fans of the CM team and know and want to help this is how you start off.
Make sure ADB is installed and its working. Also to pull all the needed proprietary files you might need a cm rom and stock rom just to flash really quick to pull these needed files later on in the how to. You would only need to pull them once.
This guide is for using Ubuntu Linux. Change out what you may need to for your own distro.
READ THIS BEFORE FLASHING!
THIS IS AN UNSUPPORTED PREVIEW. DO NOT ASK FOR SUPPORT ON THIS BUILD YOU WILL BE LAUGHED AT AND YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Packages:
Note* If you are using ubuntu 10.10 then you will need to use this repo for the java download
Code:
add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com lucid partner"
Then you need to:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
32 and 64 bit systems:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev sun-java6-jdk pngcrush
64 bit systems:
Code:
sudo apt-get install g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline5-dev gcc-4.3-multilib g++-4.3-multilib
Create the directory:
Code:
mkdir -p ~/android/system
Installing repo tool:
Code:
sudo bash
curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo > /usr/bin/repo
chmod a+x /usr/bin/repo
exit
Initializing the CM repository:
Code:
cd ~/android/system/
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread
repo sync
*Note this could take some time.
Copy the proprietary files:
This is where you need adb and the two roms to pull the needed files or else you will not be able to build! Make sure you have a stock sense rom, and a cyanogenmod rom. Connect the phone via usb then run the following. If you get errors. You would then need the other rom to flash and get the other files from. Its a pain but is necessary.
If you need help with adb here is something simple about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10070233&postcount=72
Code:
cd ~/android/system/device/htc/supersonic/
./extract-files.sh
Get RomManager
Code:
cd ~/android/system/vendor/cyanogen/
./get-rommanager
Configure the build finally:
Code:
cd ~/android/system
cp ./vendor/cyanogen/products/cyanogen_supersonic.mk ./buildspec.mk
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch cyanogen_supersonic-eng
now we compile! Now what does this command mean? Check here for details!
Code:
make -j`grep 'processor' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l` otapackage
Your zip should be here:
Code:
~/android/system/out/target/product/supersonic/update.cm-XXXXX-signed.zip
Pre-compiled CM7 RC0 Builds
Here you can download a build that I compiled and I will build one every so often so that people who can't compile can test out the latest builds. You will also find the gapps for gingerbread compiled and working thanks for echoside & barnacles10 for creating those gapps for us to use.
Mediafire folder:
http://www.mediafire.com/?nh5o11gz08f3z
Latest build is CM7RC0-20110115-supersonic-lithid.zip
You can find builds for the last 7 days in the "Old Builds" folder.
SCREENSHOTS
Gapps Updated 20110106!
YOU NEED TO DO A FULL WIPE TO FIX PREVIOUS GAPPS ISSUES!
Now with green icons!

Change Log:
I sync once a day at the same time give or take an hour or two. Wanna see the last 24 hours? Check below.
Here are the changes in the last 24 hours. These are just the package groups that have changed. If you want more information please learn gerrit or follow @cmsrc. No one should do your homework unless your getting kanged for it.

Known Issues:
- HDMI (of Course)
- 4G (not yet at least)
- Please be aware that the cm gapps don't work. Get the gingerbread gapps here Gapps
- Also the lockscreen animation is currently disabled by the cm team until they fix another issue. If that is an issue don't flash it then. I will only release what the cyanogen team has merged. Sorry. Enabled (Kanged)
- Camcorder doesn't work.
- Camera is 3mp, no toggle to switch to front yet. Front cam works, and 8mp works as well!
- Mms download currently not working. Working now!
- Battery History in spare parts force closes. Works!
- Some Leds don't work. Once at 90% charge green led comes on.
- Front cam seems to appear upside down for now... none the less works. just flip your phone! Works normally now.
- Gps is very iffy right now in early stages. I found out that the GPS works fine right when you boot up. Like within the first min or two. Then doesn't. Still looking into it.
- Can't lock location on networks.
Myths:
- Bad Data Speeds
Some people have stated that the 3g isn't working as it should in the cm7 builds. Here are pics showing speed tests > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10122575&postcount=360
Extras:
I updated the folder with some extras from CM6.1. Just incase someone was looking for the flash.
Kernels
Savage-Kernel
ZenDroid-Kernel
Updated Kernel for 0004 Hardware (Thanks to Cyanogen)

late afternoon project. good write up.

Ok.. use this command repo sync -j1 and leave for 6 to 8 hours base frame work base having lots of Gb to download
so be patient.....
Download time will depends on your internet connection.

Oki...and
1. Is there any ways to know when the downloads complete.. I mean a command that will check if everything is in place
2. Will files already downloaded delete itself and redownload.?

[Q]Repo Instructions for JFLTE 5.x?

I know that Jake had to step away from the project, and I pretty much intend on running my jfltetmo into the ground, so I'll be on jflte long-term. I'd like to start giving back to the community by seeing if I can pick up where Jake left off. I'm an electrical engineer with plenty of programming experience. I just don't have much in the embedded world. I saw that Jake had some work posted to Github on the 5.1 branch for jflte, but when I follow the directions in omnirom's Github Readme, I get an error of
error: Cannot fetch android_device_samsung_jflte
Can I manually copy the files, and where do they fit within the android structure?
Is Android Studio a good IDE for ROM development?

Hmm, post the full error log? Also, if the branch is only in Jake's personal repos you may need to use a custom local manifest to use that for the device tree instead of Omni's jflte device tree.
I personally just use grep + emacs, I've never been much of an IDE person.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me! I deleted the directory and reinitialized the omni repo. Here is the error I keep getting, it seems to be choking on arm/linux/androideabi:
repo sync -j8 -f --no-clone-bundle|tee >> reposynclog.txt 2>&1
Fetching projects: 100% (480/480), done.
Syncing work tree: 93% (447/480) error: in `sync -j8 -f --no-clone-bundle`: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/media/rhill/25e87ad3-e539-4009-9c40-0ab4db81d8e0/rhill/WORKING_DIRECTORY/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8/.git/HEAD'
error: manifest missing or unreadable -- please run init
I re-ran
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/omnirom/android.git -b android-5.1 > repoinitlog.txt 2>&1
Which doesn't seem to have thrown any errors at me, but I keep returning to the same broken package, even when I just run repo sync, with no options.

[GUIDE] Building Pure Nexus

Introduction
Hello everyone, this is a guide to get you up and running with your own build of Pure Nexus for the Nexus 5X. In this thread, you will learn how to get your computer set up to build and the commands you will need to run. Please read the entire guide and the FAQ. Additionally, this is a developer's thread, there should be no off topic discussion.
Compilation Guide
This is available on my Github, where it may be a little more up to date.
0. Getting started
In this guide, I will go over how to build Pure Nexus on your Linux machine. This particular tutorial will focus on Ubuntu 16.04 as that is what I use (Mint 18 is also good) but this should work with any version of Linux; it does need to be 64-bit however. I will leave the installation of that up to you, Google is a wonderful resource. If you don't have a good computer but still want to build, check out this thread on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/guide-how-to-build-rom-google-cloud-t3360430
1. Set up your environment
1. Automatically
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core
git clone https://github.com/akhilnarang/scripts
cd scripts
ls
bash <script-name>
<script-name> should be one of the scripts in the folder for your particular architecture.
2. Manually
1. Install Java 8
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre
2. Install other build tools
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32z-dev ccache libgl1-mesa-dev libxml2-utils xsltproc unzip
2. Configure repo and git
If you have any problems with the below commands, try running as root:
Code:
sudo -s
Git is an open source version control system which is incredibly robust for tracking changes across repositories. Repo is Google's tool for working with Git in the context of Android. More reading if you are interested: https://source.android.com/source/developing.html
Run these commands to get repo working (only do this if you did the manual set up method above:
Code:
mkdir ~/bin
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Run these commands to get git working:
Code:
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
3. Download the source
First, before downloading the source, create a folder for the source and move into it.
Code:
mkdir ~/<foldername> (eg. mkdir ~/PN or ~/PureNexus)
cd ~/<foldername>
Then, we need to grab the manifest and sync down the repositories. Here are the commands to do this for Pure Nexus for Nougat (make sure you are in the source folder you made above):
Code:
repo init -u https://github.com/PureNexusProject/manifest.git -b n
repo sync --force-sync
Here is the process generally for other ROMs:
When you go to build a ROM, you must download its source. All, if not most, ROMs will have their source code available on Github. To properly download the source, follow these steps:
Go to your ROM's Github (e.g. http://github.com/PureNexusProject)
Search for a manifest (usually called manifest or android_manifest).
Go into the repo and make sure you are in the right branch (located right under the Commits tab).
Go into the README and search for a repo init command. If one exists, copy and paste it into the terminal and hit enter.
If one does not exist, you can make one with this formula:
Code:
repo init -u <url_of_manifest_repo>.git -b <branch_you_want_to_build>
For example:
Code:
repo init -u http://github.com/PureNexusProject/manifest.git -b n
After the repo has been initialized, run this command to download the source:
Code:
repo sync --force-sync
This process can take a while depending on your internet connection.
4. Build it!
At this point, it'd be a good idea to set up ccache. ccache is a compiler cache, it stores previously compiled files in a directory and pulls from that instead of recompiling if nothing has changed. This speeds up compilation a LOT. If you want to use it, follow the below steps:
Open up your .bashrc file in your home directory using a text editor or nano and append this to the end of it:
Code:
export USE_CCACHE=1
Then type:
Code:
source ~/.bashrc
After that, run one of the below command (replacing the # with how many GBs of ccache you want, 50 is recommended)
Use this one if you used the manual method of set up in section 1:
Code:
prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M #G
Use this one if you used the automatic method of set up in section 1:
Code:
ccache -M #G
After that, it's time to build!
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh
breakfast bullhead
mka bacon
After that, your computer will build the flashable zip file and if you see something that says make completed, you've done it!
Any time that you want to rebuild, type the following commands:
Code:
repo sync --force-sync
. build/envsetup.sh
breakfast bullhead
mka clobber
mka bacon
I also have a script to do this on my Github here
Frequently Asked Questions
1.1 Q: I got an error, what do I do??
1.1 A: Well to start, if it is anything with Ninja, I would go ahead and disable it. You can add this to your .bashrc file:
Code:
export USE_NINJA=false
Then type this
Code:
source ~/.bashrc
. build/envsetup.sh
breakfast bullhead
mka clobber
mka bacon
If it is saying you ran out of memory, follow this post.
If it isn't Ninja related, check out @AzraelsKiss's post here, where he has documented a few common issues. If none of those apply, post here with a detailed list of what you have done and we will do our best to help you.
1.2 Q: Can you guys share your personal builds?
1.2 A: No, personal builds are just that: personal. Beans releases whenever he feels that the release is ready for the masses and if a bunch of personal builds are floating around, that tarnishes the Pure Nexus name. We are more than happy to help get you up and running but we will not be sharing our builds. Thanks for understanding!

this wont work on Windows, right?

I have heard people try to use Bash for Windows but I don't think it will work. Linux or bust.

Dude you should seriously get a XDA medallion or some sort of metal for all you do all over XDA. I see you everywhere. Thanks for building for us and also for this write up. :good: @ nathan

Reason being, because if we start compiling these and handing it out like it's no ones business, we're going to run Pure Nexus into the ground and people will start uploading them on AFH and it'll be one big mess. My guess is, this is just a courtesy by the original poster to those of us who can't wait.
My two cents.:laugh::highfive:

i'm on it!!!!! thank you very much!!! download is taking forever ugh

Building it right now! Thanks

I think this would work in Cygwin. I used to compile stuff for the PS3 way back. I'd have a lot of reading to do if I wanted to build this for my phone.

Which gapps to use with this?

Open Gapps micro are working fine.

So WE can't share our build either? Or what, i didn't get it.

Don't distribute personal builds. Flash them yourself and that is it.

You can try. Your build times will be much slower though.

Out of curiosity, realistically how much disk space would be required to download everything and compile with a 50GB cache? I got everything downloaded and the compile ran but threw some warnings (most of which may have been benign). When the compile terminated with an error, I had about 40MB left on my Linux Mint 18 partition so I assume it ran out of space I started with about 70GB free space
I deleted everything and decided to try again if and when I have a larger partition to play with..... I am currently dual booting on a Windows machine and didn't think to allocate that much space to Mint.
