Explore Android open source code

Here, you will find tools to explore and understand Android open source code.

• First, read the introduction to the Android architecture
• Then take a look at Android source directory with the directory explorer. You can explore the directory structure, review build projects (view the components that are generated), source code (view the functions that are declared or implemented)...
• Use the components dependency explorer (filtered view) for an interactive graphic exploration of Android components and their dependencies. Or view all the components.
• Check the list of components with the Components review.
• For example, look for the Android Runtime library component. You can view its dependencies, check which build project has generated it.
• Review some Android concepts. From a concept page, browse to the related directory or component, or follow external links for more information.
• The Code domain explorer shows the major code domains of the Android project (O.S, user interface...). For each category, you may find the major related folders (check the folders with the highest score and with a star), related subsystems or components, libraries...
• Use the Code domain schema for an interactive graphic exploration of the code domains.
• For more choices, use the menu

Enjoy exploring !
