Solved android android-source repo android-architecture-components

Can't find the source code of new Android Architecture Components. Was it published? If it was, where?

If the source is in AOSP, please specify which specific repo project should I use with repo sync [PROJ_NAME] in order to get it.

As confirmed by Adam Powell, the source code of Architectural Components can be obtained only with the artifacts themselves:

This is misleading. The source is accessible on android.googlesource.com, as others pointed out. – Whiffle 8/1, 2019 at 8:59

Edit: Android Code Search

There is a very handy official online code search platform for Android: https://cs.android.com/

Original Answer

As stated in Android team's official blog AndroidX Development is Now Even Better, the source code of AndroidX (previously support) lies in https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-master-dev. You can see AOSP AndroidX Contribution Guide on the page. There are details about:

How to download the source code using repo
How to build the project
How to contribute to the project

All you need to do is following the instructions step by step, it won't take long to setup.

The other two useful links are:

It is also worth to be mentioned that in Android Fireside Chat (Android Dev Summit '18), the Android team are considering moving the source code of AndroidX to GitHub. We'll see whether it would happen in the future.

You can download it from AOSP. After configuring the environment for downloading AOSP, you can sync it by:

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b ub-supportlib-master repo sync

The branch ub-supportlib-master contains all sources of the Android Architecture Components.
