Android studio / Gradle javadoc task

Question

I\'ve been struggling to setup a gradle task to generate Javadocs for my Android library, but when there are external dependencies to other libraries, doc generation fails.

Answer 1

The tool to generate java style documentation is called javadoc and it comes installed in every JDK. You can configure which classes or packages you want to be included, which ones should be excluded and many other options. Type javadoc in a terminal where a JDK is available and you'll get an idea.

After you get to your optimal configuration, you can include a javadoc step in your CI.
