javadoc

I have moved from Eclipse to Android Studio recently, and am liking it. However, I miss the Javadoc on hover feature from Eclipse. I followed the instructions here to add the functionality, however, my hovers contain no Javadoc. If I use my documentation shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Space it will show the documentation correctly, however, I really want it to come up in the Tooltip. Below is a screenshot of what I see. Clearly, there should be a Javadoc on this method. I see this on all methods/variables. Any help is appreciated. Turns out the docs hover page was simply resized to be very short.

I know that you can press shift+alt+j to insert an appropriate comment template for the current code block, but is there any way to let eclipse just go crazy and do a whole project like this? For a whole project, may be not, but you can at least: go to the Package Explorer View expand the class you want to generate comment on (open each method) select all the opened elements in the class from that Package Explorer Tree alt + shift + J and voilà: comments generated on the class, and every method The only reason it is not practical for the all project is: you need to open every class you want to

When creating a new class or interface in Netbeans IDE, an "@author ...." tag appears. How to change its value?

Is there a way to add references to one or more of a method's parameters from the method documentation body? Something like: /** * When {@paramref a} is null, we rely on b for the discombobulation. * * @param a this is one of the parameters * @param b another param */ void foo(String a, int b) {...} Kevin Bourrillion As far as I can tell after reading the docs for javadoc there is no such feature. Don't use <code>foo</code> as recommended in other answers; you can use {@code foo} . This is especially good to know when you refer to a generic type such as {@code Iterator<String>} -- sure looks

is there a good example of a source file containing Javadoc ? I can find lots of good examples of Javadoc on the internet, I would just like to find out the particular syntax used to create them, and assume I can pore through the source of some library somewhere but that seems like a lot of work. How about the JDK source code, but accessed through a 3rd party like docjar? For example, the Collections source . That way, there's no big download. Jared Oberhaus The page How to Write Doc Coments for the Javadoc Tool contains a good number of good examples. One section is called Examples of Doc

Something like: /** * See {@linktourl http://google.com} */ This creates a "See Also" heading containing the link, i.e.: /** * @see <a href="http://google.com">http://google.com</a> */ will render as: See Also: http://google.com whereas this: /** * See <a href="http://google.com">http://google.com</a> */ will create an in-line link: See http://google.com Aaron Taken from the javadoc spec @see <a href="URL#value">label</a> : Adds a link as defined by URL#value . The URL#value is a relative or absolute URL. The Javadoc tool distinguishes this from other cases by looking for a less-than symbol (
