To get a specific branch of the android source, you use the repo just like you would to get the latest version. After you follow the instructions on the info for setting up the machine in the links that were supplied by the other answers, you would run

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b cupcake

That will pull the 1.5 version of the source code.

  • Thanks a lot! It was really what i needed! But there has appeared another problem: the download freezes at "Receiving objects: 6% (4414/71566), 5.77 MiB | 131 KiB/s". And every time it shows different percent. I wonder why... – JastinBall Jul 05 '10 at 11:07

    I had that issue a couple times, just tried again, and eventually it worked just fine. It is probably something to do with losing the connection to the host. – Ryan Conrad Jul 05 '10 at 13:15

http://source.android.com - The homepage for the Android source
https://android.googlesource.com - The homepage for the actual Android source code.

http://source.android.com/source/download.html - Instructions for downloading the source code.

I'd imagine you would get it from the android git repository?
Web interface: https://android.googlesource.com/
SDK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Details on how to access it:
https://source.android.com/source/downloading

Note, the repository contains the current version so the above is likely uninteresting to you.
I found this though:

Andriod 1.5 (cupcake): http://androidforums.com/android-developers/1045-source-code-android-jar.html
Via: http://java.dzone.com/articles/android-zip-download-cupcake
