What is google-android-sdk-docs-installer
google-android-sdk-docs-installer is:
This package will download the Android SDK Documentation from Google and create a Debian package. This package also aims to strip out all calls to the networking, including tracking services like Google Analytics and Doubleclick. These documentation files still require the Google “jsapi”, which is only available by fetching it each time from http://www.google.com/jsapi. This package forces it to use https://, but otherwise, these docs have to phone home in order for any of the javascript to work.
WARNING: Installing this Debian package causes docs-24_r01.zip to be downloaded from https://dl.google.com and/or from other suggested mirrors. Also, since Google is often blocked in China, the install process will try again on Chinese mirrors if the Google central download repo is not available. Since the zipball is checked against the embedded SHA1 checksum, the install will fail if the mirror contains a corrupted version.
