Question: Any idea how to clone the Phone app of Android

[AndroidDeveloperLB]

This repository is nice, but the full implementation of all things in a during call UI is probably much larger.

Do you know perhaps how to clone correctly the official Phone app, or at least just the part of during the call?

I've tried here: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Dialer

But it is so messy and I don't get what to do with the folders. The IDE failed to just import it all.

However, I've found 2 repositories that have it working, though in a bit old version (Android N) of the Phone app:

• https://github.com/geniusgithub/AndroidDialer/
• https://github.com/xjpmauricio/dialer-nougat-release

How did they do it? Can you please show, step by step, how to import it all into a working project ?

It is :)

I have some notes I took last time I was downloading AOSP code to open it in Android Studio, with the intention of someday making it an answer on Stack Overflow:

At least 100GB of free disk space to checkout the code and an extra 150GB to build it.

sudo apt install repo or install with curl

[StudioProjects] mkdir aosp                                                                                                          
[StudioProjects] cd aosp

if you choose Android M or older, you'll need JDK 7 instead of 8

[aosp] repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest
repo sync

this will take about an hour (depending on your network connection), changing branches takes about 20 minutes

make, if you're low on disk space, delete .repo (more than 50 GB additional needed)

make idegen && development/tools/idegen/idegen.sh

open android.ipr in AS, this will take ???

do stuff from https://shuhaowu.com/blog/setting_up_intellij_with_aosp_development.html and https://android.googlesource.com/platform/development/+/master/tools/idegen/README

I don't want the entire AOSP. I want just the dialer (Phone) app... Cloning the entire AOSP would take huge amount of time, and also somehow trimming it to just the Phone app...

Some of the posts on StackOverflow point to the Google repository I've mentioned.

Can you please check it out?

It's not possible to build it separately without modifying it heavily, sorry.

[AndroidDeveloperLB]

But it seems that it's what others have done, or at least on the repositories I've shown...

That's what I said :)

No, I mean it seems they took just what's needed from the repository I've mentioned (here), and didn't clone the entire AOSP.

But what I just said is that it's not what they did. I don't think that they cloned entire AOSP, as you wrote "more than 50 GB additional needed". I think they only took what is needed.

My question is how did they make an order out of all the mess I've found. There are many folders there that don't make sense.

This is not the place for such a discussion, and I've already gave you all the help that I can, even though I had no such obligation.
