I was able to successfully link to http://d.android.com/reference using the following snippet which is functionally exactly what you have (as far as I can tell).
android.libraryVariants.all { variant ->
task("generate${variant.name.capitalize()}Javadoc", type: Javadoc) {
// title = ''
// description = ''
source = variant.javaCompile.source
classpath = files(variant.javaCompile.classpath.files, project.android.getBootClasspath())
options {
links "http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/"
linksOffline "http://d.android.com/reference","${android.sdkDirectory}/docs/reference"
}
exclude '**/BuildConfig.java'
exclude '**/R.java'
}
}
So there is something else amiss here.
You have to build the javadoc offline, as it doesn't seem the package-list
is available on the path of the web service. Maybe double check that you actually have the docs loaded locally, and make sure there is a package-list
in the /[android-sdk]/docs/reference
directory.
If you still can't figure it out, perhaps you could post output.
Another thing you might check is the ./build/tmp/[taskname]/javadoc.options
, the head
of said file should show the appropriate options carefully set. Things to check for would include the proper inclusion of the android.jar in the -classpath and the presence of linksOffline with expected arguments: -linksoffline extDocURL packageListLoc
javadoc.options
should have both options with only the respective arguments:
-linksoffline 'http://d.android.come/reference' '[sdkDir]/docs/reference'
-links 'http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/'
EDIT: android.getBootClasspath()
is nicer, thanks to P-chan.
