I am working on a research project for University where I need to build the Android Emulator and make some small changes, I saw some SO posts saying platform/external/qemu repo is where the emulator is located.
However many of the branches are out of date and the DEVELOPMENT.TXT document is also out of date. Mainly the development instructions say the studio-* branches are what Android Studio should build from but they haven't been updated in years and the Android Studio manifest doesn't point to this repo.
How old are the files?
Perhaps you can try with ADT if they are too old

Hello developers,
I'm starting this thread because I'm interested in designing a development environment for the Samsung Galaxy Tab so that developers, like myself, can have an easy environment for modifying the Android OS. I'll be aiming this environment at all Android Devices but I want to start with the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
At the moment I don't have much of a structure for this project, nor much direction, so if anyone has any ideas for what tools etc I should include in this please let me know. If anyone wants to get on board with the project it would also be appreciated. Send me an email.
tool ideas:
- integrating the GCC and Javac compilers into the environment.
- integrating a way to generate make files and to build from these files.
- GUI for editing files from the kernel and application framework.
- easy to use way of setting up branches for projects with the Repo and Git included in the Android Source Code.
Count me in. I am getting a Tab tonight and I plan to develop for it. Currently, I have got the froyo source on my machine and want to integrate the open source code that Samsung released for this device.
Has anyone successfully built a custom ROM using the Samsung source code? Any help on this will be appreciated.
Awesome!
I've got Froyo working on the Tab, which I built from the source code from the android open source project website but it's just a generic build from the straight source, nothing special. not with the samsung code though. do you have any links for it?
I've put a small amount of stuff into the Dev Environment, most just shell files etc to make installing everything easier. One click sort of thing.
My first task though is going to be to try and fix the failure that is the Samsung display driver. Most noticeable are the 4 by 1 widgets that don't stretch across the whole screen.
After that I'm going to start work on a GUI for the environment and the iOS Emulator.
thoughts?
Whats wrong with Android SDK and Eclipse?
It's not the most straight forward thing. I'm looking to make something that includes its own libraries too. It's aimed at beginning developers mostly, so you can literally download one file which includes everything you'll need then start editting and then one click to compile and have it all work. Simplicity
I'm also interested in this... The SGT is my first android device, and my company will want android apps for internal and external uses... and a one click dev environment would be a most welcome option!

I'll be interested in getting involved in a community driven project for the SGT. I'm a unix admin with lots of experience in the OS and system development field. Interested in what ideas you have on this.
Try using openjdk. It works for me.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk
Thanks everyone for the positive feedback on all this! it'll be good to have as many people on board as possible.
if you have troubles downloading the sun-java5-jdk there is a good tutorial on it on this site, it doesnt come as part of the repository by default so until you add it in sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk will not work.
atm i am only working with AOSP not CM, i am trying to set this dev environment up for a nice simple build and then i'll start working on more complex builds so we can start developing custom roms.
@paulshields - do you know much about linux/android drivers? i wanna fix the widget sizing problem on SGT but my driver knowledge is limited

Hi! We just released a bit of code we thought this group might be interested in.
Over at our Android Open-Source Project git servers, the source code
for Android version 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) is now available.
Here's how to get it:Follow the instructions at
http://source.android.com/source/downloading.htmlCheck out the
'ics-release' branch:repo init -u
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.0.1_r1
That's it! However since this is a large push, please be aware that it
will take some time to complete. If you sync before it's done, you'll
get an incomplete copy that you won't be able to use, so please wait
for us to give the all-clear before you sync.
This is actually the source code for version 4.0.1 of Android, which
is the specific version that will ship on the Galaxy Nexus, the first
Android 4.0 device. In the source tree, you will find a device build
target named "full_maguro" that you can use to build a system image
for Galaxy Nexus. Build configurations for other devices will come
later.
Unfortunately we still don't have our Gerrit code review servers back
online. That remains our top priority though, and we hope to have them
back soon.
This release includes the full history of the Android source code
tree, which naturally includes all the source code for the Honeycomb
releases. However, since Honeycomb was a little incomplete, we want
everyone to focus on Ice Cream Sandwich. So, we haven't created any
tags that correspond to the Honeycomb releases (even though the
changes are present in the history.)
JBQ, on behalf of the AOSP team.

Close the thread. Cmon man, read the sticky at the top of every forum
Oops. Mods, please delete then.

Hi everyone,
I use Git for source code management but haven't found a Git client for WinRT. Does anybody know a solution?
Git is open source and can be download from git-scm.com. A pure java version called jgit is available from eclipse.org which I already tried to port using IKVM but without success.
Thanks!
Sadly there isn't one. I can't remember off the top of my head why (and as you can imagine, searching for git on these forums, even in the ported software thread gives alot of results) but there was a reason for why it couldnt be ported right now, probably MinGW or cygwin.
Subversion is available right now as an alternative and thats about it I think.
I'm looking for the Android 4.4.2 Clock app source code to modify in Android Studio.
Is that possible to find?
I don't need to replace the clock app or to change the whole Android 4.4.2 OS. But I would like to use the built in Clock application (source code) to make another application with just a few modifications.
I saw a clock application on the Google Play store that said it was the stock clock with modifications. That's where I got the idea that finding the Google source code for its Clock application might be possible. Ideally it would be a project file ready to use in Android Studio.
Thanks.
Is this it?

Thank you. Will I be able to run any of that in Android Studio (0.8.9)?
I am able to run the Android Studio included samples, but no luck running samples that were not included with Android Studio. Like the samples on this page...
https://developer.android.com/samples/index.html
Currently, I'm going to try the method on this page...
https://github.com/gdg-hudson-valley/android-samples
Thanks.
Run? you can compile any source code in Android Studio, whether it will run or not depends on which SDK you select and what target platform you use assuming you don't induce errors with mods.

When I say "Run", I'm talking about the little arrow in the Android Studio toolbar that says "Run".
I am able to run samples in Android Studio. The built-in applications were easy. The Android samples from this page were problematic.
http://developer.android.com/samples/index.html
Now I can run those Android samples too, thanks to this useful page.
https://github.com/gdg-hudson-valley/android-samples
Everything functions properly with the samples in Windows, the applications run on my USB-connected Android tablet.
So I looked at the webpage you provided.
http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html
There, it says that Linux (or a virtual machine in Windows) is necessary. So I installed Linux and then Java and then Android Studio. I didn't download the whole source code like on that page, but I imported (previously downloaded through Git in Windows) the Deskclock source code and ran it. Instead of 63 errors, it produced 67 errors.
I have installed every single SDK, in fact every single checkbox in the SDK Manager. Everything was there. Seems to me like its a problem with IDE configuration files. But I know it can be done. That's how ROM makers produce their ROMs.
I got the Deskclock application from this Android source repository page.
https://android.googlesource.com/?format=HTML
Must I use Linux as described on that page you provided to download the source described there in order to make any of the stock applications run in Android Studio? If so, I will get back into Linux and try that way.
Thanks.
No you don;t need Linux, you can download the source code in pieces rather than use GTHUB.
JUst Google "android clock example" you will find dozens of example apps and source code

I appreciate your attempts to help, but you should know by now that I'm putting much effort into doing this. It is apparently not a trivial thing.
When one "Googles" the term "android clock example" it produces a grand total of five results that are mostly off-topic.
Google starts uploading Android 13 source code to AOSP
After much anticipation, Google has finally released the source code for Android 13. The final version has also launched, too!

Google starts uploading Android 13 source code to AOSP
After some anticipation, Google has released the source code for Android 13. Although the release came a bit later than expected, the company has started uploading the source code to Android Open Source Project (AOSP) Git repositories. This can often take some time, often requiring hours for the update to be fully populated. As a result, be patient if you don’t see it. This source code release also comes alongside the full release of Android 13.
Before the release, Google updated its Android 13 Security Release Notes which contained details about security vulnerabilities that were present in Android. The update showed security vulnerabilities that have been fixed in Android 13. Devices running Android 13 with a security patch level of 2022-09-01 or later will be protected from these issues. If you’d like to check what version of Android you’re running and the security patch level, most manufacturers have it listed under the About Phone section under Settings.
XDA VIDEO OF THE DAY
The release of Android 13’s source code is important, not only for those that want to tinker with the OS but also for communities that build custom ROMs and aftermarket distributions of Android like LineageOS. Major manufacturers must also rely on this repository for their own Android releases. You can have a look at the Android 13 source code by heading over to Google Git.
For developers, this is an important time as it is time to release compatible versions of their apps and build out more features with APIs. Google is releasing the Android 13 source code under the Apache License version 2.0. Apache 2.0 is a permissive rather than copyleft license, meaning developers can modify and distribute the code freely without being required to open-source their modifications. This licensing system is what allows smartphone makers to develop their own closed-source forks of Android.
If you’re interested in analyzing the Android 13 source code, you can head over to the Android Git repositories and look for the new Android 13 branches and tags. Specifically, look for the “android-13.0.0_r#” tags. It takes a while for the entirety of Google’s internal codebase to be pushed to the public AOSP repositories, so expect to wait a few hours before you can sync everything. Google also uploads the commit history for each release, which provides a lot of insight into the Android team’s thought process when adding or removing features.
