Xref Aosp

mkdir -p /var/opengrok/data,etc,logs,src # Link your AOSP source (avoid copying 100GB) ln -s /path/to/aosp /var/opengrok/src/aosp

In software engineering, a tool indexes a codebase to show exactly where variables, macros, functions, and classes are defined, and where else they are called or modified throughout the project. xref aosp

Easily link to raw source code for patches and audits. Why Use AOSP Cross-References (Xref)? mkdir -p /var/opengrok/data

The Modern Standard: Google Android Code Search ( ://android.com ) and classes are defined

Traditional IDEs like Eclipse or Android Studio struggle with native code navigation, particularly JNI functions where the mapping between Java method calls and native implementations isn't obvious. AndroidXRef solves this by indexing everything—Java, C++, JNI glue code, and kernel sources.
