How to profile "native code" in Android?

What's the best IDE setup to work with the Android source code?

  • I am not referring to browsing source code for an android application.I am referring to browsing the android source code itself (i.e. http://source.android.com/source/index.html). I've already looked at http://source.android.com/source/using-eclipse.html. It only works with java files in the framework. I'd like to be able to work with C/C++ files in the entire source base as well. I don't need to use a debugger, just want good search, browsing and auto-complete functionality. Think cscope in an IDE, sort of.

  • Answer:

    Install CDT on Eclipse to add support for C/ C++. Google for a how-to. The basic setup is such that Eclipse support "Software Updates" via configured repositories. Amongst these repositories, you should be able to find C/ C++ Development Tools (CDT).
