Clay Murphyb339f4f2013-11-12 15:22:14 -0800[diff] [blame]3The source.android.com site contains tutorials, references, and other
4information related to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). The rendered
5output of this site is static HTML, although the source contents are stored
6in Javadoc. Conduct your edits in the Javadoc (.jd files).

Clay Murphyb339f4f2013-11-12 15:22:14 -0800[diff] [blame]8Note that the currently viewable docs at http://source.android.com/
9are not necessarily exactly in sync with the doc sources you can download from
10AOSP. If you want to make a contribution to the doc sources, please check in at
11android-contrib@ group. That way, we can make sure the affected docs are stable
12before you upload your CL.

Clay Murphyb339f4f2013-11-12 15:22:14 -0800[diff] [blame]16The source.android.com source files are stored in the platform/docs/source.android.com/
17Android project:

Skyler Kaufman991ae4d2011-04-07 12:30:41 -0700[diff] [blame]19
Clay Murphyb339f4f2013-11-12 15:22:14 -0800[diff] [blame]20The files to be edited are located in: <root>/docs/source.android.com/src
Skyler Kaufman991ae4d2011-04-07 12:30:41 -0700[diff] [blame]21
Clay Murphyb339f4f2013-11-12 15:22:14 -0800[diff] [blame]22Every .jd file under src/ is an individual page in Javadoc format. This format
23closely resembles HTML with different headers.

Clay Murphyb339f4f2013-11-12 15:22:14 -0800[diff] [blame]25Subdirectories exist for the tabs of source.android.com with their structure
26roughly (but not identically) mirroring navigation of the site.
Skyler Kaufman991ae4d2011-04-07 12:30:41 -0700[diff] [blame]27
Clay Murphyb339f4f2013-11-12 15:22:14 -0800[diff] [blame]28In addition, each tab and subdirectory contains a *_toc.cs file (such as
29devices_toc.cs) that defines the navigation for that section of the site. When
30pages are added or removed, the corresponding *_toc.cs file must be updated to
31match.
