I'm now using Gradle for all my projects, and even for javadoc generation.
android.libraryVariants.all { variant ->
task("generate${variant.name}Javadoc", type: Javadoc) {
title = "$name $version API"
source = variant.javaCompile.source
ext.androidJar = "${android.plugin.sdkDirectory}/platforms/${android.compileSdkVersion}/android.jar"
ext.googlePlayServicesJar = "${android.plugin.sdkDirectory}/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib/libs/google-play-services.jar"
classpath = files(variant.javaCompile.classpath.files, ext.androidJar, ext.googlePlayServicesJar)
options.links("http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/");
options.links("http://d.android.com/reference/");
//options.linksOffline("http://d.android.com/reference", "${android.plugin.sdkDirectory}/docs/reference");
exclude '**/BuildConfig.java'
exclude '**/R.java'
}
}
With that code I got everything working, except one thing: regular Android API objects like Activity, Bitmap etc. Java's links are working fine.
The final generated documentation does not link to http://d.android.com/reference.
I tried both options.links() and options.linksOffline()
without success.
EDIT
Thanks to @ejb, the problem was that you cannot provide multiple options.links()
at the same time.
So I used both options.links()
for Java's documentation and options.linksOffline()
for Android's documentation:
options {
links("http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/");
linksOffline("http://d.android.com/reference", "${android.plugin.sdkDirectory}/docs/reference");
//stylesheetFile = new File(projectDir, "stylesheet.css");
}
I was able to successfully link to http://d.android.com/reference using the following snippet which is functionally exactly what you have (as far as I can tell).
android.libraryVariants.all { variant ->
task("generate${variant.name.capitalize()}Javadoc", type: Javadoc) {
// title = ''
// description = ''
source = variant.javaCompile.source
classpath = files(variant.javaCompile.classpath.files, project.android.getBootClasspath())
options {
links "http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/"
linksOffline "http://d.android.com/reference","${android.sdkDirectory}/docs/reference"
}
exclude '**/BuildConfig.java'
exclude '**/R.java'
}
}
So there is something else amiss here.
You have to build the javadoc offline, as it doesn't seem the package-list
is available on the path of the web service. Maybe double check that you actually have the docs loaded locally, and make sure there is a package-list
in the /[android-sdk]/docs/reference
directory.
If you still can't figure it out, perhaps you could post output.
Another thing you might check is the ./build/tmp/[taskname]/javadoc.options
, the head
of said file should show the appropriate options carefully set. Things to check for would include the proper inclusion of the android.jar in the -classpath and the presence of linksOffline with expected arguments: -linksoffline extDocURL packageListLoc
javadoc.options
should have both options with only the respective arguments:
-linksoffline 'http://d.android.come/reference' '[sdkDir]/docs/reference'
-links 'http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/'
EDIT: android.getBootClasspath()
is nicer, thanks to P-chan.
