How to get Chromium source code for Android

I am trying to create an open source Chromium browser for Android. I said:

Visit: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/AndroidBuildInstructions

But, I think, he will not build test packages in a full browser. Any idea how I can run it on my device to make changes to it through the source code.

I checked the code from Git, as recommended, and built it accordingly using depot_tools and targeting the OS as an android. The whole build environment is correct, and I can make the command "make -j4". But still, the source code for eclipse is not available to me to make some changes.

How can I make a change?

Please help me overcome this problem.

You can create the content wrapper yourself using "make -j4 content_shell_apk" instead of creating a complete package. This will give you content_shell.apk, which can be installed on any Android device with 4.0 or higher. If you want to create an eclipse project for a content wrapper, you need to collect all the necessary src files and resource files from the chrome source tree.

src files:
base/android/java/src/org/chromium/*
media/base/android/java/src/org/chromium/*
ui/android/java/src/org/chromium/*
content/public/android/java/src/org/chromium/*
content/shell/android/java/src/org/chromium/*
net/android/java/src/org/chromium/*

res files:
content/shell/android/res/*
pak file:
out/Release/content_shell/assets/*

native libs:
out/Release/content_shell/libs/armeabi-v7a/*

"Currently, the full compiler does not create a browser, it only builds unit test packages. As soon as the code is available in the Chromium public source, additional goals will be added.

Taken from the same page, I think this is your answer.
