Error with Nullable annotation when generating Javadoc using doclava - android-studio

I am trying to generate a Javadoc for an Android Library using Doclava in Android Studio. The source code uses "Nullable" tag at some point and this causes a crash while generating the javadoc:
In doclet class com.google.doclava.Doclava, method start has thrown an exception java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
com.sun.tools.javac.code.Symbol$CompletionFailure: class file for javax.annotation.Nullable not found
Can I somehow overcome this?

I had to include in Javadoc's classpath, the findbugs:jsr305 library.
So, in my Gradle configuration, I added:
dependencies {
// For Doclava JavaDoc
jaxDoclet("com.google.doclava:doclava:1.0.6")
classpaths files('build/intermediates/classes/release')
classpaths 'com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:3.0.1'
}
task javadoc(type: Javadoc) {
//.... the rest of the configuration
options {
classpath += configurations.classpaths.files.asType(List)
//.... the rest of the configuration
}
}

For this exception, check here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1261
Just add -XDignore.symbol.file to the end of the command, and it may remove this exception.

Suppress warning “Access to field exceeds its access rights” in Groovy

I write a Groovy script and I need to access a field that has a private access modifier. This works fine but generates a warning:
Access to <field_name> exceeds its access rights
I want to supress this warning. What value of #SuppressWarnings annotation do I have to use in order to achieve it?
I've tried #SuppressWarnings("all") and it works fine but I would like to have more granular control over suppressions. I've also tried #SuppressWarnings("AccessingNonPublicFieldOfAnotherObject") but it has no effect.
Below how this warning looks in IntelliJ:
Unfortunately automatic hint doesn't suggest any sensible solution:
If you are talking about IntelliJ warning:
then you can hit Alt+Enter on the offender and choose "Suppress for method" as follows:
after which you will see #SuppressWarnings("GroovyAccessibility") over your test method:
I had this "problem" when I had buildSrc folder in Gradle-project which contained Kotlin code for my Gradle build scripts and it was used in Groovy code.
Seems like it was because I was accessing private variable field and not the getter. Kotlin makes field private by default. I solved this by using #JvmField in Kotlin code which makes the variable field public and does not generate getter for that field.
// groovy in gradle build script
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility(CompileOptions.javaVersion)
}
// kotlin in buildSrc (this gives the warning)
object CompileOptions {
val javaVersion = JavaVersion.VERSION_11
}
// kotlin in buildSrc (this does not give the warning as field is now public)
object CompileOptions {
#JvmField val javaVersion = JavaVersion.VERSION_11
}

Create external link in Javadoc using Gradle in Android Studio

I have created a Gradle task that generates a javadoc using Doclava:
My code (the arguments of some of my methods) references classes defined in Android. When Javadoc is built, these references link correctly to the Android online reference. However, when I use the #ling tag to link to Android references, it does not work and I get something like:
configurations {
jaxDoclet
classpaths
}
dependencies {
// For Doclava JavaDoc
jaxDoclet("com.google.doclava:doclava:1.0.6")
classpaths files('build/intermediates/classes/debug')
classpaths project.files(android.getBootClasspath().join(File.pathSeparator))
}
task javadoc(type: Javadoc) {
source = android.sourceSets.main.allJava
source += fileTree("build/generated/source/r/debug")
title = null
options {
docletpath = configurations.jaxDoclet.files.asType(List)
doclet "com.google.doclava.Doclava"
bootClasspath new File(System.getenv('JAVA_HOME') + "/jre/lib/rt.jar")
classpath += configurations.classpaths.files.asType(List)
addStringOption "public"
addStringOption "federate android", "http://d.android.com/reference"
addStringOption "federationxml android", "http://doclava.googlecode.com/svn/static/api/android-10.xml"
}
}
warning 101: Unresolved link/see tag "Runnable" in com....
In similar questions in SO, it was advised to use -link and -linkoffline flags. However, when I do that I get:
javadoc: error - invalid flag: -linkoffline
I am using Android Studio 1.5.1 and Gradle 2.11.
Update
It seems that Doclava may not support -link and -linksoffline according to these tickets. If I use the default doclet, links work correctly.

Gradle plugin for default properties

I am trying (and failing :) ) to create a gradle plugin that has a default set of versions for dependencies and can be overridden in the gradle.build file that is calling my plugin. Ideally something like the sudo-code below
MyDefaultPropertiesPlugin.groovy
project.versions.springBoot="1.0.0-RELEASE"
MyPlugin.groovy
project.apply plugin: MyDefaultPropertiesPlugin
compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:${project.versions.springBoot}")
build.gradle
versions.springBoot = "1.1.0-RELEASE"
project.apply plugin "my.plugin"
I attempted to do using extensions but ran into isssue's via the ordering when overriding. (versions doesnt exist)
I would greatly appreciate any advise on this, maven would be easy, but my gradle knowledge is still evolving :)
Thanks in advance for any insight!
Plugins have to defer accessing the build model until after build scripts have been evaluated. Easiest solution is to use project.afterEvaluate {}, but there are others. For more information, see answers to similar questions here or on http://forums.gradle.org.
Came up with a pretty workable if not perfect solution, I will update if i think of anything better, my gradle is at a learning level, so please commend if this can be improved.
This allows me to define a set of versions and clients to overwrite those versions with a simple property
MyDefaultVersionsPlugin.groovy
class MyDefaultVersionsPlugin implements Plugin<Project>{
project.extensions.create('versions', MyVersions, project)
}
class MyVersions{
String spring
String slf4j
public MyVersions (Project project){
spring = setVersion(project,'springVersion', 'x.x.x.x')
slf4j = setVersion(project,'slf4jVersion', 'x.x.x.x')
}
private static String setVersion(Project project, String name, String version){
if(project.hasProperties(name)){
return project.getProperties().get(name)
}
else {
return version
}
}
}
MyPlugin.groovy
project.apply plugin: MyDefaultVersionsPlugin
compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:${project.versions.spring}")
build.gradle
buildscript { ext { springVersion = 'x.x.x.x'} }

How can I specify a Groovy CompilerConfig using Gradle?

I have a Groovy project, where I would like to enable this CompilerConfig:
withConfig(configuration) {
ast(groovy.transform.CompileStatic)
ast(groovy.transform.TypeChecked)
}
How can I enable this using Gradle?
Beginning from Gradle 2.1 it is possible, see the corresponding release notes.
This is especially useful for working with Groovy on Android, see this presentation. E.g. you could add the #CompileStatic to each class with the following code:
File build.gradle
compileGroovy {
groovyOptions.configurationScript = file("gradle/config.groovy")
}
File gradle/config.groovy
withConfig(configuration) {
ast(groovy.transform.CompileStatic)
}
For more options, see the GroovyCompileOptions and Groovy Customizer Builder.
Gradle's GroovyCompile task doesn't currently support passing a CompilerConfiguration instance or --configscript option. See http://forums.gradle.org/gradle/topics/ability_to_specify_a_compilerconfiguration_instance_for_groovycompile_task for a related discussion.

gradle NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout.<init>(Ljava/lang/String;)

(My second Gradle problem...)
I'm trying to setup a call to Velocity in one of my tasks. Velocity does a direct call to log4j which Gradle somehow seems to divert to its log4j-over-slf4j-1.7.2.jar, causing a NoSuchMethodError.
So I have:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenLocal()
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'org.apache.velocity:velocity:1.7'
// ... asumes provided:
classpath 'log4j:log4j:1.2.12'
}
}
And then later in a task I do...
def template = Velocity.getTemplate('src\\jnlp\\jnlpTemplate.vm')
This raises an exception. And the last part of the stacktrace is
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout.<init>(Ljava/lang/String;)V
at org.apache.velocity.runtime.log.Log4JLogChute.initAppender(Log4JLogChute.java:117)

at org.apache.velocity.app.Velocity$getTemplate.call(Unknown Source)
at build_49a099islbrnod06rkiudfavms$_run_closure1.doCall(C:\home\...\build.gradle:67)
My analysis so far is as follows:
The constructor PatternLayout(String), that is called by Velocity is part of log4j's PatternLayout class, but it seems Gradle ends up resolving PatternLayout to a class in $GRADLE_HOME/lib/log4j-over-slf4j-1.7.2.jar. And that jar's PatternLayout seems to be a very minimal implementation lacking the requested constructor.
Is there some workaround here? Did I make some beginners mistake?
You have to remove the log4j jar from your app: the bridge log4j-over-slf4j and the log4j have the same methods, with the same signature (there could be some issues caused by different loading order into the classpath). If you want to use the bridge you don't need the log4j lib, you have to choose another logging framework which implements slf4j (for example log-back).
It could be a version issue. The version 1.7.2 of the bridge could be too high, try to downgrade to a lower version.
