Re: Bug fix

[Jean-Baptiste Queru]

The best approach is to simply leave a comment on the issue you're working on.

yes, raise a bug, post the fix to gerrit, post the link to the fix on the bug.

I found one bug in Jelly bean source code and want to contribute in terms of fixing the bug. I already know the solution.

Kindly let me know how to do it?

You should make a patch.
See http://source.android.com/source/life-of-a-patch.html
and http://source.android.com/source/submit-patches.html

 

should I raise a bug and contribute directly? 

If you need to justify, inform about or explain your patch you could file a bug, but it's not required.

 

Also wanted to check once I fix this bug what is the verification process and who does it?

It will get reviewed by other contributors and by Google staff. If it looks good to them, the patch will get integrated into the source.
