Hi, Kris There may be something wrong with my expression in the previous post. So first let me explain what I have done: I right-click my project, and choose Build Path/Configure Build Path/Add External Class Folder, then imported the download Android source file named as “sources”. So there are two items in Referenced Libraries directory: “Android.jar” and “sources”. The “Android.jar” file is only about 5.3M while “sources” file is about 127M, and I find more .java files in the “sources” which includes the “PackageManagerService.java”. However, in the “sources” directory in Eclipse, I can only see the names of all .java files but cannot open them(By that I mean when I click them, nothing happens).
I guess this is caused by I did not attach sources for the platform distribution. But how to do that? I searched “platform distribution” but still don’t know what it means. Could you please specify? Actually, I just want to see if I can modify Android’s permission checking mechanism. PackageManagerService class is just where I started to read. And is it true that if I want to implement the modified PackageManagerService, I have to debug the whole source codes(10G)? While if I just want to do some change to ActivityManager/PackageManager(which is in Android.jar), I just need to debug Android.jar?
