How to add source + javadoc for android-support-v7?

Question

I added to my project support library android-support-v7-appcompat, but I can\'t add source and javadoc for it.

I downloaded https://android.googlesource.com/platfor

Answer 1

Or the same using @andr answer to How do I attach the Android Support Library source in Eclipse?

git clone https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_support android_sources_folder

add android-support-v7-appcompat.jar.properties file into libs (next to android-support-v7-appcompat.jar) with content

src=D:\\android_sources_folder\\platform_frameworks_support\\v7\\appcompat\\src

close and reopen project

Answer 2

Sources for appcompat-v7 are available within "API21/Sources for Android SDK" package which can be downloaded with SDK Manager, the path is \sdk\sources\android-21\android\support\v7\

Android Studio will allow you to browse lib source code when you point this dir as appcompat-v7 source dir root.

Answer 3

I was able to attach the source based on advice from How do I attach the Android Support Library source in Eclipse?.

Here's what I did:

First, clone the source repository and get whatever version corresponds to the released library (which I guessed):

1. git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/support
2. cd support
3. git checkout android-4.3.1_r1

Next, in Eclipse:

1. Right-click project and choose Properties.
2. Select Java Build Path
3. Select the Libraries tab
4. Add External JARs > YourProject/libs/android-support-v7-appcompat.jar (I know your project had already referenced to it but don't worry, just add it again).
5. Expand jar and attach Source to the External Jar: WhereverYouHaveTheSource/support/appcompat
6. Switch to the "Order and Export" tab, move the external jar above the "Android Dependencies"
