I went through all of these solutions and none of them worked. Here is what I did to get it to work:

1. Navigate to the following folder: D:\\Android-SDK\android-sdk-windows\extras\android\support\v4

2. Run the command: javadoc -d docs -sourcepath src\java -subpackages android.support.v4

3. In your project's libs directory, create a file called android-support-v4.jar.properties

4. In the properties file, add the following lines (change the path to match yours):

   doc=D:\Program Files\Android-SDK\android-sdk-windows\extras\android\support\v4\docs src=D:\Program Files\Android-SDK\android-sdk-windows\extras\android\support\v4\src

5. In Eclipse, bring up the properties dialog for the Build, then navigate to Java Build Path and select the Libraries tab.

6. Expand the support library. In my case the path is: D:\Program Files\Android-SDK\android-sdk-windows\extras\android\support\v4

7. Select Javadoc location. Click on the Edit button and then select the path to the docs. In my case it was: file:/D:/Program Files/Android-SDK/android-sdk-windows/extras/android/support/v4/docs/

8. Close everything, including Eclipse and restart. You should now be able to browse docs in your code.
