Where can I find a central repository of Android open source code?

Question

When I was developing in PHP and Visual Basic, there were tons of programmers who provided their source code on various websites. Is there a central repository like www.pscode.com where I can find open source code released for Android?

Answer 1

Hello I would 100% recommend this :

http://commonsware.com/

It's a yearly subscription giving you access to three android books which are kept up-to-date as a PDF or Kindle copy. They are updated when changes are required such as a new SDK release. You can also browse online sample code used in these books, here for exemple. These Samples are a gold mine to learn android, so start digging :D

Answer 2

There are many sites where willing coders release/share/discuss their codes.

You have for example the old sourceforge or the now very used github (my preferred) or the Google one.

I've never heard of a specific one for android (which would be hard : all my open source projects have many parts in many technologies) but at least github and code.google let you search their projects by technology :

• https://github.com/languages

• http://code.google.com/hosting/search?q=label%3aAndroid

Answer 3

Android itself is available as open source Android source code, otherwise, look at code.google.com - Android label where there are tons of projects available, including sources
