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 android class.
Isn’t there a way to locate a file in https://android.googlesource.com?
Most things you’ll want to see can be found under the
frameworks/baserepo.This includes pretty much all the public and private API classes that make up the Android Java framework.
If you want to be able to browse the source from within Eclipse, you can follow this guide: http://blog.michael-forster.de/2008/12/view-android-source-code-in-eclipse.html
Finally, the Android SDK Reference Search extension for Chrome lets you browse the public API by typing
adinto the URL bar, and it adds a convenient “view source” link to each Javadoc page.
