Android SDK/Command Line Tools Source Code?

Question

Where is the source code for the Android command line tools and SDK?

I am planning on compiling the tools for Arm for use with an android device through the terminal emulator or by compiling the tools into an apk with some other features. Basically I would like to have a minimalist method for developing for android on an android system somewhat like AIDE.

Most of them are in the /platform/tools/base repository, here is the link.

As for certain tool's source code, we can use the following steps to find out :

1. cat the tool's bat/shell, avamanager/avdmanager.bat, for example. It will lead us to the jar sdklib/libavdmanager_lib.jar and sdklib/sdklib.core.jar
2. unzip/decompile the jars, find the actual logic class. It's com.android.sdklib.internal.avd.AvdManager in our example.
3. according the full class name to determine the source code in repository. This is the source code of class AvdManager.
