How can I make IntelliJ/Android Studio open Android docs when clicking F1 on function?

Question

Let's say I have the following line of Android code:

MyClass myClass = (MyClass) intent.getExtras().getSerializable("SomeKey");

How can I make IntelliJ/Android Studio open a browser and navigate to the following URI when hitting F1 while the cursor has marked "getSerializable"?

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Bundle.html#getSerializable(java.lang.String)

Is there a plugin for this maybe?

Answer 1

Open up Project Structure window and then go to Libraries and point to the android jar:

Now press the green plus sign:

Choose the Specify Documentation URL... option:

Enter the Android SDK API url:

Press OK all the way back so you end up in the editor again. Now place the caret at the method and press Shift+F1:

The browser will open up and navigate to the correct page.

Answer 2

In my Android Studio 1.5.1 installation, the libraries are listed in the Structure View once I select my module from the Project View and select Android from the drop-down as shown in this link:

Click >> Project View and Project Structure View

Now right-clink on the library you want to add URL to and select Library Properties. A window will popup with a button Specify Documentation URL and you can paste your URL there.

Click >> Library Properties windows and Documentation URL popup

Now you can go to the code editor, select any element you want to see documentation for and press Shift+F1 and browser will open up with the corresponding URL.
