It's open source, you can download and build it if you follow the instructions to clone AOSP source code.

AOSP source code

He is asking about Android studio not Android Open Source Project?

[-] trolololol@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Yep AOSP has both

I never tried this for cloning, but for searching and reading most of it is here

https://cs.android.com/android-studio/platform/tools/adt/idea

You'll notice the path is shared with many other AOSP sub projects
