Android source code Download Method

Download Android source code

When downloading the android source code for the first time, you will inevitably encounter some small issues, such as so.

If the English is good, you can directly look at this: http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html

1. Create a folder for your source code:

$ mkdir ~/bin$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH

Ii. Download tool repo

$ curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

Possible problems: download failure or download failure

Solution: Change

$ Curl http://git-repo.googlecode.com/files/repo-1.12> ~ /Bin/repo

Or:

$ Curl "http://php.webtutor.pl/en/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/repo">./repo // get repo

3. Find a place with a large space and put the source code to be downloaded,

$ mkdir YOU——WORK_NAME$ cd YOUR——WORK_NAME

IV, Repo init initialization code repository

$./Repo init-u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest

5. Download source code

$ repo sync

Possible problems: connection failure or download interruption

Solution:

Locate the fetch attribute in manifest. xml under the. repo directory
Change
Fetch = "git: // Android.git.linaro.org/" or fetch = "https://android.googlesource.com/" (the latter is said to download fast, unverified)

For interruptions, you can write a brother script as follows:

Create script download. sh

#! /Bin/bash

Echo "========= start repo sync ===================="

./Repo sync

While [$? = 1]; do

Echo "===== sync failed, re-sync again ====="

Sleep 3

./Repo sync

Done

Remember that chomd a + x download. sh allows it to run.

Tip: the download takes a long time. You can set up a PC Download at night.
