Android Studio Javadoc: Cannot find symbol

Question

I\'m trying to prepare and upload my Android library to Bintray and part of that process runs the following javadoc task:

task javadoc(type: Javadoc) {
    s         


        

Answer 1

So these error mean that JavaDoc can't link the classes which are not in the same module (without further config). If you don't care about this (ie. having hyperlinks to classes outside of the module) you could just ignore the errors with

task javadoc(type: Javadoc) {
    failOnError false
    source = android.sourceSets.main.java.srcDirs
    classpath += project.files(android.getBootClasspath().join(File.pathSeparator))
}
