Downloading and getting started with the source code in Ubuntu 10.04
Shawn Strickland
http://source.android.com/source/download.html
I go along and Ubuntu is unable to complete actions, some site
addresses no longer exist, and it seems that the Java SDK is
uninstallable (the Java 5 version).
Have others installed the source code on Ubuntu 10.04?

The trick to installing Java 1.5 on more Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04 is to
add the following to /etc/sources.list:
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty multiverse
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates multiverse
Then do:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
You might also need to do:
sudo update-java-alternatives -sjava-1.5.0-sun
to switch from Java 1.6 to 1.5 if it doesn't happen automatically.

Was able to get git to work, and download what seems like individual
program sources from the website http://android.git.kernel.org/
Thanks all for the help, I'll let you know when I get stuck again.

the only thing holding me back. I don't have much experience in
Ubuntu or Java either, so that definitely doesn't help, but as the
title implies, I just wanted to poke around the source code.
Maybe, you all can help me with my final question for the topic:
(unless I mess more with the installation instructions, and get
further down the instructions page at source.android...)
I can git clone a specific app I want to look at, for example the
Calculator. I can open it up in gedit and see the source (which is
what I wanted to do anyway)
How can I go about building this and running this in an Android
emulator such as what I can do with Android apps in Windows in
Eclipse?
Also, if I can find a way to do this, I can also send it to my Android
device (just a stock HTC Hero) and use the app natively (as I've found
possible before), but how can I replace native applications in Android
(like Calculator, or home, or...) to use my own version of... is this
possible, and as easy as building and running on the device/emulator?
Or is it much more intensive than that? If so, I'll keep playing
around with it, but it'll take some time to fully understand what's
going on.
Any reference materials or preferably books on working with the
Android Source Code? (And not just building applications... or does
it go hand-in-hand?)

I am new to Android-platform. I tried following the procedure
mentioned by Mike. I am seeing the following error when I run the
command
curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo ~/bin/repo
main = my_main
ver_str = '.'.join(map(lambda x: str(x), VERSION))
me = [main,
'--repo-dir=%s' % dir,
'--wrapper-version=%s' % ver_str,
'--wrapper-path=%s' % wrapper_path,
'--']
me.extend(orig_args)
me.extend(extra_args)
try:
os.execv(main, me)
except OSError, e:
print >>sys.stderr, "fatal: unable to start %s" % main
print >>sys.stderr, "fatal: %s" % e
sys.exit(148)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main(sys.argv[1:])
curl: (3) <url> malformed
And when I try to run the following commands
vkdasan@vkdasan-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
sun-java5-jdk: Depends: sun-java5-demo (= 1.5.0-19-0ubuntu0.9.04)
but it is not going to be installed
sun-java5-jre: Depends: sun-java5-bin (= 1.5.0-19-0ubuntu0.9.04) but
it is not going to be installed or
ia32-sun-java5-bin (=
1.5.0-19-0ubuntu0.9.04) but it is not installable
Recommends: gsfonts-x11 but it is not going to be
installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).
I am unable to proceed further. Please kindly let me know how can I
get rid of the above errors.
Thanks,
Kannadasan

If some one from Android team reading this post, you can check this in
source.android.com, in the old site this command was fine, but now I
feel there is a small mistake.

Download the Java5 JDK for Linux from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/5u21/jdk
This is a binary file that you should save to the location where you
want to install the java,
make it executable my using the following command,
$ chmod 777 jdk-1_5_0_21-linux-i586.bin
and run it using the following command
$ ./jdk-1_5_0_21-linux-i586.bin
This will install the jdk to the current directory.
before building the android set jdk bin path to PATH variable.
$ export PATH=~/tools/jdk1.5.0_21/bin:$PATH
hope this helps you to get Java 1.5
Thanks

I am not sure what to use as a name for working-directory-name

Please add your ~/bin to PATH variable, so that you can run the

or
~/bin/repo init-u
