Download Android source code

[Update] http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html

The address of the new version has been modified:$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest.git

Download and configure git and repo according to official documents,

$ Repoinit -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git

After seeing init finished, run the following command. Otherwise, run the command again until the prompt is displayed.


$ repo sync

 

The above command is to download the main branch on platform. To download the source code such as 1.6 (cupcake), run the following command:

$ repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b cupcake

$ repo sync

 

The above code is: Apps + framewok in Android


 

Due to the long download time, some projects may fail to be downloaded during the download process (due to the time difference, some projects will be closed on Sunday, Beijing time,

Therefore, it is recommended that you do not download the source code at this time point, or you may think that the network is slow or the network speed is slow. The connection will be closed by the remote end, and so on...

Or you may want to download it again if you are not finished at the company ,...

When you need to re-start the download, note that you need to re-run the repo init-u... command

Then run the repo sync command.

 

Because the steps in manifest. Git can contain all the projects under/platform, you need to modify the file manifest. xml under. Repo (Hidden directory ).

Reference: source code download in the http://geek.gfan.com/aosp-android-2-1-eclair-source-for-htc-g1/, you need to check one by one to see if there is no less project

Added support for Chinese to display Chinese characters on the interface:
