Android Eclipse: javadoc errors while generating javadoc

Question

I have no experience in using javadoc utility. I am trying to create java docs for a class from ADT eclipse. I have downloaded the docs and specifying the javadoc URL for android.jar to the downloaded docs. It seems like it is not able to get docs for the android apis

This is the error i am getting.
