View core Android Java sources in Eclipse (final solution)

I don’t know why this is not really showing in Google search results but if you want to step through the core Android Java code in your Eclipse project, finally there’s a legit and very convenient solution that is a part of ADT-Addons project. Steps are pretty self-explanatory but just in case,  here’s what you need to do:

  1. In your Eclipse click Help->Install New Software
  2. Click “Add” button and put this URL into resulting Pop-up (name it whatever you want): http://adt-addons.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/source/com.android.ide.eclipse.source.update/
  3. Click “OK” and mark “Android Sources” checkbox
  4. Click “Next” and any “OK”, “Agree”, “Next” or “Finish” buttons afterwards
  5. Restart Eclipse after the installation and now you can step right into Android code from your debugger and see the source code for Android Java files right in the Eclipse editor
