xref aosp executeTransaction

When you get hundreds of reference results, use the filter sidebar on the left: xref aosp

For example, to find all native (C++) callers of android::IBinder::transact, filter the path to *.cpp and *.h.

While OpenGrok is great for web-based exploration, most engineers need xref inside their editor. Here is how to emulate xref AOSP in modern IDEs. The basic usage involves specifying what you're looking

OpenGrok is the de facto standard for cross-referencing large codebases, widely used in the Java ecosystem and by internal teams at Google and Sun Microsystems before it. It is a fast, usable source code search and cross-reference engine.
