Is there any documentation available for Android os source code

Question

I want to understand the complete structure of Android OS source code. I have a copy of source code for Gingerbread and want to go through it fully.

Is there any documentation or help available to understand Android OS source tree structure?

i don't think there is a "complete" documentation of its flow. there are some available in the internet but parts by parts only. and, there are some comments in the source codes. — artsylar

actually i want to understand & modify some part of the code & want to see that whether it reflects in final output(emulator/device). So first i need to understand the complete binding & dependencies between different packages.So just comments in code may not help. But anyways thanks for response.. — Vinayak wagh

Source code is documented a little inside source code in comments. There is no official documentation available.
