Research direction

Choose a namespace from the issue and run the provided PowerShell rg command against docs\xml, excluding docs\xml\index.xml. Review the matching To be added entries and the official-reference importer results; done means resolving the tracked placeholders, with progress documented alongside PR #676.

Description

These 59 namespaces are tracked here. Together they currently contain 618 To be added placeholders in source XML documentation. docs\xml\index.xml is excluded. | Namespace | Count | |---|---:| | (global namespace) | 1 | | Android.Accessibilityservice.AccessibilityService | 10 | | Android.Accounts | 9 | | Android.AdServices.Exceptions | 22 | | Android.Annotation | 21 | | Android.App.AppSearch.Exceptions | 16 | | Android.App.AppSearch.Util | 15 | | Android.App.Jank | 24 | | Android.App.Roles | 11 | | Android.Crypto.Hpke | 15 | | Android.Graphics.Drawables.Shapes | 20 | | Android.Hardware.Location | 19 | | Android.Locations.Altitude | 15 | | Android.Media.Effect | 16 | | Android.Net.Wifi.Hotspot2 | 23 | | Android.Net.Wifi.Hotspot2.Omadm | 7 | | Android.OS.Ext | 18 | | Android.Print.Pdf | 3 | | Android.PrintServices | 17 | | Android.Security.AdvancedProtection | 21 | | Android.Service.PersistentData | 16 | | Android.Service.Restrictions | 5 | | Android.Service.Textservice | 5 | | Android.Service.VR | 14 | | Android.Telephony.Cdma | 11 | | Android.Telephony.Ims.Stub | 23 | | Android.Telephony.Satellite | 19 | | Android.Test.Suitebuilder | 11 | | Android.Test.Suitebuilder.Annotation | 31 | | Android.Views.ContentCapture | 5 | | Dalvik.Annotation.Optimization | 0 | | Java.Beans | 16 | | Java.Interop.Expressions | 17 | | Java.Interop.Tools.JavaCallableWrappers | 15 | | Java.Nio.Charset.Spi | 3 | | Java.Nio.FileNio.Spi | 22 | | Java.Security.Acl | 12 | | Java.Util.Functions | 16 | | Java.Util.RandomGenerators | 11 | | Java.Util.Regex | 12 | | Javax.Crypto.Interfaces | 2 | | Javax.Net | 5 | | Javax.Security.Auth.Callback | 6 | | Javax.Security.Auth.Login | 2 | | Javax.Security.Auth.X500 | 15 | | Javax.Xml | 3 | | Javax.Xml.Namespace | 5 | | Javax.Xml.Transform.Dom | 11 | | Javax.Xml.Transform.Sax | 17 | | Javax.Xml.Transform.Stream | 10 | | Javax.Xml.Xpath | 24 | | Org.Apache.Http.Auth.Params | 14 | | Org.Apache.Http.Client.Entity | 8 | | Org.Apache.Http.Conn.Util | 11 | | Org.Apache.Http.Cookie.Params | 13 | | Org.Xml.Sax.Ext | 7 | | Org.Xml.Sax.Helpers | 15 | | System.IO | 5 | | System.Linq | 9 | Set a namespace and use this command to find its placeholders: powershell $namespace = 'Android.Accounts' rg -n -i --glob "$namespace/**" --glob "ns-$namespace.xml" 'to be added' docs\xml For the global namespace entry: powershell rg -n -i --glob 'ns-.xml' 'to be added' docs\xml ## Update log - 2026-09-10: Refreshed the placeholder scan from 724 to 749 (increased by 25). Related documentation PRs: #333, #350, #360, #644.

  • 2026-09-10: Completed official-reference importer dry-run/review/apply passes for all 59 tracked namespaces. Imported 73 exact matches in five commits; 618 placeholders remain where the importer reported no safe exact source mapping (1,128 blocker records).

  • 2026-09-10: Opened progress PR #676 for the 73 exact official-source imports. The issue remains open pending resolution of the 618 conservatively blocked placeholders.
