I'm on a slow network connection and it's painful to use the documentation at https://developer.android.com/guide/components/index.html. Can I download the entire Android Developer documents to my machine and browse it locally? This would include the documents for all of the various classes and other things.
Yes you can.
Open SDK Manager (located in android_sdk_dir/SDK Manager.exe).
In the latest API (4.2) select Documentation for Android SDK.
Once downloaded, you can find the documentation in android_sdk_dir/docs.
Can I download the entire Android Developer documents to my machine and browse it locally?
In the SDK Manager simply select "Documentation for Android SDK" for a recent API.
You can get it under $ANDROID_SDK/docs/. If it is not already there download it via the "Documentation for Android SDK" option.
Alternatively you can download the source tree and link it up with your IDE.

Is there any way to install older versions of android SDK via Android Studio? I don't want to use suspicious download links from the internet and want to be able download it directly from Google. Is it possible?
P.S. My question is not a duplicate of another one because the other one doesn't consist exact direct instruction about Android studio with the desired button I was searching for.
In Android Studio, got to File > Settings. Then go to Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Android SDK. Open the SDK Platforms tab and, check any SDK versions you want to use.The IDE will download the sources and any other parts of the checked SDK's.

Android: Is it possible to cut/paste android SDK and use it?
is there any link available to download all the Android versions including Google API's?.If there is, can you please provide the link?.
Query http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository-7.xml
As you can see this is all versions google has published, so replace "repository.xml" with the sdk:url tags and you will download this sdk, for example for download "android-17_r01.zip" just use http://dl.google.com/android/repository/android-17_r01.zip
Installing offline android requirement has very problem ,download android sdk then run sdk manager ,it provides everything you need.
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.
My Android emulator contains A list of 'API Demos', including a nice looking password PIN form (with validation) within the App->Device Admin section.
Any idea where the source can be found? Or does anyone know of a good example off a user PIN input sample?
All the examples are included with the Eclipse ADT plugin, I think. Start a new "Android Example" project and you can choose any of the samples.
The samples source and project can be found in your sdk directory. Specifically under ANDROID_SDK/samples/android-XX/ApiDemos (where XX is a certain API level)
If the samples folder is not present, you have to install the samples via the SDK manager first.
