Android JavaDoc

Why some classes/methods aren’t presented in SDK and DroidDoc…

Sergei Goorov — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 22:55:32 +0000

…but are presented in plain javadoc? As I understand from source the main reason of disappearance is “@hide” tag in javadoc, for example, inner class android.media.MediaRecorder.VideoSource has follow definition in source: /** * Defines the video source. These constants are used with * {@link MediaRecorder#setVideoSource(int)}. * @hide */ public final class VideoSource { /* Do not [...]

Updated DroidDoc from Android team

Sergei Goorov — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 09:24:52 +0000

If you see new Android 1.1 SDK then you can see a new appearance of reference documentation. At long last the left frame has been added, and you can use the tree navigation or panel navigation there. All other, as I see, are without changes, and still there is no “use” functionality in this documentation. [...]

As everybody knows Google has open sourced Android. And here is a result of building javadoc from source. The -package and -use options were used. My comments about specific features will be later.

Some issues

Sergei Goorov — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 18:33:04 +0000

There are some issues in the exposed here javadoc. The one is in the builds m3-rc37a, m5-rc15 and 0.9_beta non public constructors of some classes are public. This is my neglect. The next issues relate to impossibility to easy resolve @link and @see tags which refer to generic methods and xml-attributes. And biggest issue is [...]

This site with Android javadoc is exists about nine months, but only now it takes a distinct form. Couple words about how I make the javadoc - it’s result of matching Google Android documentation and generated code which is an Android API definition. Moreover, I include into documentation only real classes, fields and methods from [...]
