Hi Xav, I agree that developers should not be depending on implementation. However, sometimes, looking into source code provides an immediate insight to developers about how their code works (or does not work) with the platform itself. For example, at the simplest, lets say, I added a view to

Yep, I have the SDK. I would like to step into source code every now and then to understand what it does when I write code. So, when I write an activity, I would like to read the source code the the Activity.java class. Your idea does make sense though. On Tue, Dec 7, 2010 at 5:31 AM, guillaume

You're right of course, that this is less than optimal for some people. Most people actually even though windows users are a majority (I'm well aware of you all :)), downloading 2-3 GB of source is not easy. There are reasons though for not doing it. - You should be able to rely on the API

You know, those of us who normally develop with Windows would certainly appreciate a nice .zip file of at least the .java sources. It doesn't have to be buildable, or even complete to every last obscure file. Just something similar to how Sun/Oracle provide src.zip. Yes, I can fire up a virtual
