Wow great news! I haven't checked those forums in a while. I'm gonna try 
this! Are the doc and sources still available with gradle? For example when 
clicking a class name with Ctrl + left click in android studio Will I be 
able to see sources and docs? I'll give it a try soon and check myself 
anyways. Cheers!
