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/platform/frameworks/support/+/master package with source and in Eclipse I set Source attachment to v7/appcompat/, but it doesn't work.

Can someone help me?

E: my solution is, I have two projects in Eclipse "android-support-v7-appcompat" (original lib from android-sdk\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat) and "android-support-v7-appcompat-src" (src from android.googlesource.com) and when I compile release version, so I used original lib and for debug I used src from googlesource.com.

PS: sorry for my english

Answer 1

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"

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
