Well, I have the source showing up on one machine but not another. The machine that does not show source, is effectively a clone of the machine which works ! What exactly are you refreshing when you mention refreshing the Android library in Eclipse?

Peace,
Scott

With Android 1.5 i had to place the “sources”-folder into
/platforms/android-1.5
Eventually a refresh of the project revealed the source-files.

Thanks, this is very helpful.

I had to create the symlinks in the appropriate plaforms/android-1.x directory to get this to work for me.

My SDK:
~/apps/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.5_r2/

But my android.jar file is here:
~/apps/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.5_r2/platforms/android-1.1

I observed that instead of “source” folder it was “sources” folder in 1.5 SDK, if you are not sure on what name you should give to the folder then just goto the build path of the project (Right click Android project -> Properties) and expand Android 1.1 and then Android.jar, you should see source attachment path with should exactly match the path where you are keeping the source code. Once this is set just restart eclipse and you are done.

The slash was the culprit for me (Mac OS-X, Ganymede). The android SDK path defaults to no slash, so the default path formed is incorrect.
Eclipse > Preferences > Android > SDK Location

I tried all the steps mentioned above. But I am not able to see every thing even now. For e.g. I am not able to see the surface manager class in android.os .but its present in the relevant directory. I am not able to see that in eclipse. Can some one tell me what could be the problem?

What I did
1. created sources directory
2. copied android folder from /framework/core/.. to sources
3. copied all other java files to sources
4. refreshed/restarted eclipse

Did I miss any thing?

You might also want to make sure your SDK Location contains a final slash (or backslash in Windows). Or else, it won’t find your sources since the append in getOsAbsoluteAndroidSources does add a slash itself.
