Generate Javadoc error Android Studio

Question

For some reason I cannot generate a javadoc with Android Studio, after like 96 warnings it gives me this:

95 warnings
java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.sun.t

I don't think this issue is specific to Android Studio. I'm guessing it will happen anytime you've got Unicode characters in your JavaDoc comments.

Try using the following command:

javadoc -encoding utf-8

Alternatively, you can just use Unicode escapes (e.g. \u0000) instead of including Unicode characters directly.

In Eclipse, you can add extras to the JavaDoc command:

Project -> Generate Javadoc -> Next -> on the last page, in Extra Javadoc options write:

-encoding UTF-8
