As in android sdk what we get is a compiled jar file which contains all the classes. So in eclipse you can't read the source, but you may use, The official online version to read the source code of classes:

http://developer.android.com/reference/packages.html

[In eclipse although by CTRL+Click on import may show you a bit about the class, although that won't be easy to understand :)]

You can attach source code to libraries. yourProject / Properties / Java Build Path / Libraries / yourLibrary / Source attachment, and then enter the folder or zip file containing the source code (which you need to download separately).

If you only have the object code (.class files), then you need to learn to read ByteCode (which Eclipse shows pretty nicely) or use a Java ByteCode disassembler.
