I need to navigate through the whole android api objects inside the Android Studio to find out classes that extend an individual class and also list of class and interfaces that is extended by an individual class in a hierarchy form.

In a simple word I need something like visual studio's Object Browser inside the android studio.

any solution?

    thanks for your suggestion, also regard to your answer I found that simply putting the cursor on desired class and pressing the **Ctrl + H** the same window will be opened, where you can select _Class_ Hierarchy, _Supertypes_ Hierarchy, _Subtypes_ Hierarchy from the top menu. – Hamid Behnam Dec 04 '13 at 08:52

    Not sure if I don't know how to use this Type Hierarchy but this is not like ***Object Browser*** in Visual Studio at all, you can navigate all classes and components of some assembly using ***Object Browser*** but this `Type Hierarchy` is not something like that. – King King Jun 03 '16 at 08:57

This is what comes with the IDE: into Project Tab, select Project View, and browse the External Libraries.

Updating info since the question is from '13

Sadly I couldn't find anything after about an hour of digging beyond the 2 awkward and not comparable answers above.

My solution was to create a chrome window app of the page located at: https://developer.android.com/reference/packages.html

It's only after you leave Visual Studio that you understand why people say VS users are spoiled. I guess Balmer really meant it when he said it - DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS =)
