I'm working on an Android project (Java) and I want to generate Javadoc for my classes using the "Generate Javadoc..." option in Android Studio.

I checked the "Include JDK and library sources in -sourcepath" option but I get this error :

I tried to uncheck the option or change the -sourcepath manually, but then I got new errors like :

error: package android.os does not exist
error: cannot access ...

It seems like it doesn't access the Android packages with that option.

• java
• android-studio
• javadoc

Possible solutions:

1. Custom scope:

   Select "Custom scope" in the "Generate Javadoc..." settings, you restrict Javadoc to processing only your project's source code. This isolates Javadoc from the conflicting external library dependencies.

2. "-exclude" flag:

   The "-exclude" flag, when added to the "Command line arguments" field, provides control over which packages are excluded.

   For example, "-exclude .jetbrains.kotlinx.*" prevents Javadoc from processing any packages within the ".jetbrains.kotlinx" namespace.
