You can find source code for Android native methods using ~~Google Code Search~~ one of the following services:

The search for "SystemClock || android*SystemClock" in AndroidXref will point you to the android_os_SystemClock.cpp file which in turn forwards many of its methods to SystemClock.cpp

Other Android .cpp or .h files with native methods implementations could be found in a similar way.

As of Jan 2012, the Code search site has been taken down. – CjS Feb 14 '12 at 13:25

Beside the Android Open Source Project you can find the code just by using google, e.g. search for:

android SystemClock source code

I got links to grepcode (SystemClock). I find it more compfortable to browse the code here (be careful which version of code you are browsing).

Yeah, I know grepcode, but I also need native methods implementations – teoREtik Apr 27 '11 at 13:30
