Are there Android SDK source code or at least old plain javadocs somewhere?

Question

I'm new in Android development and I often need to look at javadocs on almost every single class or method from Android SDK.

I found it very annoying to stop developing, go to the browser, look for the correspondent class and only then read the docs. It would be much more convenient to look at docs just in my IDE (for example, ctrl+click on interesting method and read docs, then click on 'back' button and go on developing not loosing speed).

But I cannot find Android SDK sources to attach them. I'd like to attach at least javadocs only but I cannot find them either. Android documentation has more rich format and it's more convenient to read it then old javadocs, but (I'm almost sure) none IDE can parse those docs any more.

Has someone managed this problem?

There are several people who have discussed this problem on the web before. This posting is nice enough to provide instructions as well as a link to download the 2.1 javadocs he generated:
