How can I generate document from Android Source zip file?

Question

I downloaded Android's 4.4 source file and I would like to get its API as html?

I have ADT bundle and IntellijIdea 13 installed, I tried to import and then generate Doc, but I couldn't,some errors, I searched over internet but I could not find a good answers, is possible to generate API document without downloading?

Note: I want to generate the docs, I don't want to download the doc from somewhere else.

what are the errors? You can download the docs offline and then put them in right folders — Rohan Kandwal, Dec 24 '13 at 16:30

why not remote upload the docs to a website and then download it from there? — Rohan Kandwal, Dec 24 '13 at 16:33
I don't understand, why should i upload, when I have source? — daniel, Dec 24 '13 at 16:34
I have Source code of Android, and it source like java source has documentation, I want to get its documentation like for example javafx api documentation as HTML. — daniel, Dec 24 '13 at 16:36
if i am not wrong then what you mean is that you want javadocs? — Rohan Kandwal, Dec 24 '13 at 16:39

Thank you @Rohan for time, but I found the solution, after some search the answer was in javadoc documentation itself. – daniel Dec 25 '13 at 08:21

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

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
