Question

I would like generate javadoc out of aar lib file, but my actual task not work and finish with error. I\'m somewhat lost with gradle.

Where should generate javadocs?

Answer 1

If you are following standard project structure then use:

apply plugin: 'java'

javadoc {
    source = sourceSets.main.allJava
    classpath = configurations.compile
}

If not then you need to specify the include closure. Add the closure like:

include 'path/to/directory/*'

If include closure is not working then add sourceSet closure with srcDir pointing to the module/java directory:

sourceSets {
    build {
        java.srcDir file('src/main/java')

    }
}

And after that run $gradle javadoc command. Then check your build directory for html files having all javadocs. Note: Replace srcDir with your root package path.
