Question

Is it possible to see the code on how the APIs in Android work?
Say, I want to see the implementation of method setContentView() or setStroke().
I am wondering if the implementation of these APIs are exposed.

Was it helpful?

Solution 2

If you use a Chrome-flavored browser, you can install the Android SDK Search extension, which:

  • Adds an ad search to the "omnibox" (a.k.a., address/search bar in Chrome), so ad AdapterView would take you right to the AdapterView documentation

  • Adds a "(view source)" link to the JavaDocs for each class that brings up the source code to that class

OTHER TIPS

Android is open source. You can find all the code from here: http://source.android.com/

At this site you can find and browse the source code for all Android versions: http://grepcode.com/project/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/

This has already been answered here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19416821/977090

Basically, just install "Sources for Android SDK" from Android SDK Manager.
