How to compile Browser source code for Android 4.0.3

Question

I downloaded the Browser source code from https://github.com/android/platform_packages_apps_browser .

I am able to access the hidden and internal package with the help of http://devmaze.wordpress.com/2011/01/18/using-com-android-internal-part-1-introduction/ tutorial.

I am not able to build the source code for Android 4.0.3. But when compiled for Android 4.0.3 Eclipse shows "This class must implement the inherited abstract method AbsSpinner.layout(int, boolean), but cannot override it since it is not visible from FolderSpinner. Either make the type abstract or make the inherited method visible" error in FolderSpinner class.

Thanks in advance for help.

Regards, Vibhor

You can only build AOSP apps as part of the whole firmware. They are not designed to be built individually.
