Android Studio Can I save the javadoc comments to an external file

Is it possible to write javadoc comments in a seperate file.

My usual method for writing comments is like below

/**
*@param name person name
*/
private void testMethod(String name) {
    //something to do...
}

Is it possible to move all these embedded comments to a external file(s) that i can reference.It should still show the popup on mouse-over.

Solution

  • No, this is not possible. The main idea behind Javadoc is to keep code and documentation together to increase the likelihood that they stay in sync.
