I don't see javadoc Android SDK in Eclipse

Question

I am developing for Android in Eclipse Helios. I am using the latest ADT 8.0.1 plugin. Previously, I could see a description of the javadoc method by moving the mouse over the method name and waiting for a second. Now for some reason he stopped working.

Answer 1

• In eclipse, right click on your Android project and select "Properties"
• From the left menu, select "Java Build Path"
• On the right side, select the tab labeled "Libraries."
• Here you should see the Android SDK that you are targeting. For example: "Android 2.2".
• Click the arrow to the left of the Android SDK to expand the sublevels.
• Find "Android.jar" and click on the arrow to the left of it to expand it.
• You will see the "Location Javadoc" setting. Select this, and then click the "Edit" button.
• At the top, move the path to your javadocs. This is usually "path_to_android_sdk / android-sdk-mac_86 / docs / reference /". I say RESELECT, because even if it is correct, you should look through and do it anyway.
• Click "confirm." You all need to be installed!

For some reason, it adds a static Windows path, starting with D: \ ... This also fixes all SDK targets.

Answer 2

Eclipse Helios is known to have slow code completion with the Android SDK. Perhaps your problems are related to this? If you are having problems with the latest version of Eclipse, you should probably try using Eclipse 3.5 http://www.eclipse.org/galileo/ , which doesn’t have these problems.

This may be due to some kind of temporary error in Eclipse.

You can check Window -> Show View (-> General) -> Error Log to check if there was an Eclipse exception that caused the Eclipse developer to crash.

Have you tried restarting Eclipse? If it still does not work, you can try restarting eclipse with

c: \ path \ to \ eclipse.exe -clean

You can also check the Windows settings and Project-> Properties if you can find something that is related to Javadoc and try to use the reset java perspective using the window → reset.
