Well I prefer just standard JavaDocs to the Android (new Google Code) format, personally. Maybe it is habit, etc, but they are quicker and easier on my eyes.

As to how much of a "challenge" using the JavaDoc tool is, it can be a great challenge when you don't have the source, that adds to the difficulty a bit. ;)

Hi

I did not thought using Sun Microsystem's JavaDoc tool to be a challenge. But perhaps I am wrong.  ;-)

Android's API docs look great and it is definitely more fun to read them in a normal web browser. My problem is that many Java IDEs are not smart html parsers.

Not correctly nested HTML tags are no fun for them.

I understand that Google has invested many man hours to improve API doc usability, but ironically they have forgotten to test if their greatly improved JavaDoc doclet is still machine readable by different Java IDEs.

Hello!

I am new to Android - even if the API still is quite small, i would prefer a api doc in a similiar 3-frame-style like that from sun.But all what i could find was the android-main-view
sitehttp://code.google.com/android/reference/splittingtheapi-doc into packages, class and so on.

but the trouble is, if i click on the class view, i have to click the back button everytime when i want to take a look to another class..

so, is there an android api doc in the typical 3-frames-style?

thx..
