Android Development For Start-Ups

Some of you may be considering forming start-ups or in that process and need that particular fast prototype of an android application to pitch to a VC or Angel.

Classes for your IDE

Posted on June 30, 2010 at 8:48am 0 Comments

As you know android jars are stubs and thus there are no class sources in them for IDE tool use. I just reviewed issue 979 to gather links to class sources for 1.5, 1.6, 2.0.1, 2.1, and 2.2. Once you download the zip and jars linked to below you put them into sdk/platform/sources folders for the Eclipse IDE to automatically scan them and for non eclipse IDE users I believe you just do a class source attach to enable with the jars and zip themselves and thus do not have to unjar/unzip them if… Continue
