Add androidx source code to Android Studio project for debugging

Question

I want to to add the androidx source code to my Android Studio project instead of using the provided library (implementation \'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.1.0\').

Answer 1

These repositories are usually being accessed with repo -
but for the sake of simplicity, git would also be supported:

git clone --branch androidx-master-dev https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/support /home/android/androidx-master-dev

Android Studio also supports git; the repository URL to check out would be https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/support and the branch is to select is eg. androidx-master-dev;. However, manually adding the library modules you need might be better.

Only the pre-built artifacts have version numbers, not the source-code. And it might only be known internally, which commit equals which version number; it doesn't seem to be publicly documented. See Android CI and Android Code Search; it says nothing about any version numbers there either.
