Unable to hide/suppress k-doc in mixed(java+kotlin) project

[macharya]

In my project, I've both kotlin and java files, I am trying to hide a package, I tried @hide @hidden @Suppress still cant hide a java class or public method. Added following 3 libs to my build.gradle and nothing seems to work. Also, what's the right way to use the package option in build.gradle not .kts. followed #492 but that did not solve this problem. Any help?

classpath "org.jetbrains.dokka:dokka-gradle-plugin:1.4.30"
classpath "org.jetbrains.dokka:kotlin-as-java-plugin:1.4.30"
classpath "org.jetbrains.dokka:android-documentation-plugin:1.4.30"

You can use @hide with android-documentation-plugin to hide a method/class from the documentation in Java.
Support of a package level will be in Dokka 1.6. (#2206)

Now matchingRegex can be used to hide a package. See example

Update
@suppress is only for Kotlin.

I have the same issue with dokka 1.5.31

Problem
@hide works for all java functions/classes/etc. Except for functions which have a return value.

How to reproduce
Add to https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/tree/master/examples/gradle/dokka-kotlinAsJava-example/src/main/kotlin/demo the following java class.

• setB() is hidden.
• getA() is shown, even with the @hide tag

public class JavaClass {
    private String a;
    private String b;
    JavaClass(String a){
        this.a = a;
    }

    /**
     * @hide
     */
    public void setB(String b) {
        this.b = b;
    }

    /**
     * @hide
     */
    public String getA() {
        return a;
    }
}

Is this also fixed @vmishenev with the upcoming 1.6 release?

@bashbug how is @hide working for your java classes/methods? I tried 1.5.31 and still can't hide the java methods or class. Tried all three of these but no luck

classpath "org.jetbrains.dokka:dokka-gradle-plugin:1.5.31"
classpath "org.jetbrains.dokka:kotlin-as-java-plugin:1.5.31"
classpath "org.jetbrains.dokka:android-documentation-plugin:1.5.31"

@bashbug I suppose this fix will be in the next version after Dokka 1.6.
Dokka handles setB and getA as a setter and a getter so #2158 will fix the bug.
@macharya Can you share your project configuration and code sample with @hide?

@macharya I recently ran into a similar issue — was able to resolve the issue by doing:

buildscript {
    //...
    dependencies {
        //...
        classpath "org.jetbrains.dokka:dokka-gradle-plugin:1.4.30"
    }
}

Then

dependencies {
    dokkaJavadocPlugin("org.jetbrains.dokka:android-documentation-plugin:1.4.30")
    //...
}

@vmishenev I think including the above in https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/tree/master#android would go a long way in clearing up confusion.
