Android SDK and Developer Guide Offline or PDF

Question

Where can I get PDF version of Android SDK docs and developer guide. Saw a posting that installed sdk has the html docs, mine does not. Is this a separate download. any eclipse update for this? Thanks

Visit http://dl.google.com/android/repository/docs-24_r01.zip that's where the docs are located.. I spotted this while I was downloading docs from sdk manager — Sudip Bhandari, Oct 19 '16 at 12:42

I think only HTML is available and you get it by installing the Documentation using the Android SDK tool:

(See the 4th item in the list).

Could you indicate where people will find this in eclipse after doing the update? – Androider Feb 12 '11 at 00:18

I read the documentation by opening .../android-sdk/docs/index.html with my browser (via a link from my Desktop). Within Eclipse you only really have access to the API Reference by pressing Shift-F2 above an Android class. – trojanfoe Feb 12 '11 at 00:35

You can find the pdf's for most sections here The website has been split into sections for each book.

https://docand.com/

Design .......................  https://docand.com/android-design-methods-book/
Training......................  https://docand.com/training-in-android-book/
Android Components............  https://docand.com/a-guide-to-android-api-components-book/
Google Services...............  https://docand.com/android-google-available-services-book/
Distribution Methods........... https://docand.com/android-distribution-methods-book/
Tools of the Android Developer  https://docand.com/tools-of-the-android-developer-book/

The sections are all available as a preview and as a download for free.

It's no more free. The free download is only a sample and full copy asks for a price. — Registered User, Aug 24 '16 at 13:23

This PDF looks much better than the other ones on this thread. Not to mention you've posted a DOCX along with it (very handy). The one by Yourfriend returns "Access Denied" (after a "Malware Detected" warning from Chrome), and the one by Loman has some extra branding added to it that I don't care for. – rodrigo-silveira Sep 10 '12 at 04:22
