Get the code

There are several ways you can get the code.

1. Use Subversion to get the latest code from the repository

The repository is organized on a per chapter code sample basis (the typical Google Code hosting trunk does not have the projects, intentionally).

To get the code (using svn) for a particular chapter: svn co http://unlocking-android.googlecode.com/svn/chapterX/trunk/

(Where "chapterX" is replaced by the chapter you want to checkout.)

To get the code (using svn) for all the chapters at once you can use a small script that loops all the chapters.

An example of this is shown in the user forum

2. Download the code for ALL chapters in a single archive bundle
