Answer 1

This worked for me:

1) remove spaces from the path to android.jar (all the fixes I tried to allow it to work with spaces didn't work for me)

2) Choose Project/Generate Javadoc...

3) Enter correct path to the javadoc executable, which, in my case looked like this:

4) Click next and enter a document title

5) Click next and add bootclasspath to the VM options. I did a search on my mac to find the android.jar. Make sure you use the correct location and version. Mine looked like this:

6) Click finish and it should work.

Hope that helps :-)
