Where to get copy of Android Studio's WiFiDirectDemo code? - android

Where can I get a copy of Android Studio's WiFiDirectDemo source code? I see lots of tech articles with broken links to http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/WiFiDirectDemo/index.html. Much of Android documentation (such as http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/p2p/package-summary.html) also have this broken link. I have downloaded the latest Android Studio and the SDK Manager, and I cannot find any sample/demo code within the SDK's installation directory nor the Android Studio's installation directory. A 'Net search for "WiFiDirectDemo" isn't finding much either. Has this sample code been pulled for some reason?

They changed the project name to the "Beam Large Files". This project is not using Wifi p2p.

Sharing project folder in Android Studio

How can I share a project/working directory between two Android Studio installation in two different computers? The shared repository is a file sharing cloud service like Dropbox.com or box.net.
The reason I want to do this is that I have a desktop and a laptop each with Android Studio. I want to be able to seamlessly do development work between the two systems without having to checkin or checkout code in a code repository.
I don't plan to run the two Android Studio concurrently. This is just for me - one user.
I used to be able to do this with Eclipse ADT but with Android Studio I am getting multiple errors - missing libraries, etc.
Any suggestions on this use case is also welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Ray
It is actually working, to begin with. It was an oversight on my part. I needed to download the latest version of Android Studio (including the updates). Since applying updates I can open the project in another device by referencing the project working folder in the shared folder (in this case Box.net). I just get an initial prompt on the SDK location, that it is unable to find the original location. But it did offer to use the SDK location on the current computer.
When using the current device's SDK folder it will say that it will "modify the project's local.properties file." I click OK on this and it's all good.
This is what I wanted to do. But I'm looking at GitHub now. Thanks.

Anyone know how I can run an android sample app?

I'm fairly new to android development using Android Studio. The examples online say to build with Gradle. I choose Gradle when importing the project but then I get an error saying that it is not a Gradle based project. Does anyone know how I can get over this to run it on my phone?
Pick a sample project to import that has build.gradle file in BOTH the app module directory AND the project root directory.
Strongly recommend rather than importing an existing project, you create a new one from scratch yourself, following along with a tutorial.
Here's a really good first tutorial for Android Studio which is recent (August, 2014) as of this question, so it will all be relevant to the current version of Android Studio.
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/801078/Hello-Android-The-Hello-World-Application
As far as getting the app onto your phone you can either (a) plug in the USB cable from the phone to your PC and run from Android Studio, or (b) email the app's APK file as an attachment to any email address you check on your phone (such as gmail for example). For the email method, you also need to change a security option to allow apps from unknown sources.

IntelliJ 12 Android Setup? Nothing works

IntelliJ 12 does not generate the needed files to start Android Development.
I've setup both JDK and SDK and intelliJ seems to see the correct paths.
I am coming from Eclipse which generates everything you need to start pretty much out of the box.
I've tried...
Double triple checking file paths.
Searching...alot of searching.
Making new files from scratch.
Making hello world program, still doesn't generate needed res folder and AndroidManifest.xml file.
Changing file path directly to AndroidManifest.xml's containing folder.
The one thing Eclipse provides that is missing from IntelliJ is and Android SDK install wizard. In other words, you would have to preinstall hte Android SDK from Google prior to starting with IntelliJ. Other than that IntelliJ actually provides more out of the box than Eclipse. (Especially considering you have to manually install the Android plugin before you get the Android SDK install wizard.) Go to the Google Android developer site to find the Android SDK and once you've done that you should be able to get up and running pretty quickly with IntelliJ. Start a new project and select Android. This should walk you through a new project wizard which will setup the necessary res and gen folders for you.

android source?

I was looking to download “android emulator source code” and can’t seem to find it anywhere. Can you please tell me where I can download it, and what language does the “android emulator source code” written in?
Here are instructions for getting set up with Android, setting up your build environment, and building (including building the Emulator).
As found on this site, you can download the Android Emulator source code here.

Android SDK source code

I need to look at the .java files of the android sdk. I have developed applications before but I never needed to look at them so it wasn't a problem then. I saw there is a jar file android.jar that contains all the class files structured but actual sources are not there. git gives various problems to me because I am behind a weird proxy so http://source.android.com/source/using-eclipse.html hasn't been very helpful. What should I do?
EDIT: I'm talking about the java files, just to clarify. And in case you are okay with browsing the code online, Where can I find Android source code online? http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#uX1GffpyOZk/core/java/android/
Just open the Android SDK Manager and select the Sources for Android SDK of the API level you are trying to support and click Install packages:
(In this case I selected those for SDK v4.3 API-18 and SDK v4.2.2 API-17 but I already have them installed)
If for some reason you SDK manager button doesn't show up on the Eclipse toolbar, follow this recommendations.
To link the source code to Eclipse just follow this instructions; Android Sources are usually under [ANDROID_SDK_FOLDER]/sdk/sources/android-[API_LEVEL]
You can download the ICS sources via the adk manager to your local machine and then attach them to your project in you IDE. See e.g. the blog of Lars Vogel
It is a online latest linux and android source code browsing website.

You can browse the .java files of the Android SDK here:
http://grepcode.com/project/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android
The links in the other 2 answers, http://hala01.com/ and http://grepcode.com/project/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android are no longer working.
You can download and view android SDK source code from this site. As of today in October 2021, source code of up to API level 31 is available.
Since such websites may become unavailable in the future, you may want to download local copies for safe keeping.
