I try to search for it but I just cant. I am running Windows 7 on Lenovo G460 laptop. I tried to install Ubuntu on it but I cannot use Wireless to connect to the internet for some reason.

Is there anyway for me to get a look at Android source code or at least just the Calendar part of it?

A: 

I'm afraid this sounds like a software installation problem more than a software development issue. If you're having issues connecting to the internet wirelessly through ubuntu check out their support section first...

http://www.ubuntu.com/support

Then you might want to report your porting failure to google: [email protected]

Sorry, I hope this helps...

Oh, please dont get me wrong. My question is how can I check Android source code in Windows 7. I only bring up the Ubuntu issue to establish that I cant run Ubuntu here.

You can browse the android source code using their GitWeb interface. If you want to check out a specific project (i.e. download the source), you will need to get git. For Windows there is a good native implementation available: msysgit. When you have git running, you can either clone a complete repository using git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/projectname.git or just get the HEAD (the most current version of all files, useful if you only want to browse through the source) by doing git clone --depth 1 git://android.git.kernel.org/projectname.git.

The project name is the top folder you select on the GitWeb page, for example platform/packages/apps/Calendar.git for the Calendar app. Then the full command is git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/packages/apps/Calendar.git.
