Answer 1

I am afraid that the answers was not my solution.

in javadoc documentation there is option for documenting multiple packages,

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/windows/javadoc.html

I first extracted android source.zip file and then I used javadoc command in command-prompt. like so:

javadoc -J-Xmx1024m -d [DESTINATION] -sourcpath [SOURCE OF PACKAGES] -subpackages [PACKAGES]

-J-Xmx1024m is allocation of memory to VM and for multiple packages under src/ folder should be used like this,

-subpackages android:androidx:java and so

Do you have the Android SDK? If you do, the documentation is in the subfolder docs. Look at docs/reference/packages.html for javadocs.
