How to find easily the source of an android class

Question

I know I can access android source code from https://android.googlesource.com, but it\'s hard to select the right git repo if I only know the package and the name of an andr

Answer 1

Since 2011 the source code can be downloaded with the SDK Manager (Window > Android SDK Manager)

• Install package "Sources for Android SDK"
• Open Properties of android.jar, which you can find in the package explorer below the Android library
• In "Java Source Attachment", select android/sdk/sources as external folder

Edit: Eclipse seems to regularly scan the external folder for updates. If this annoys you, you can zip the folder into a .jar and then tell Eclipse to look in that jar for the sources. Eclipse will then no longer scan for changes.
