How to fix "module not found: kotlin.stdlib" or missing dependencies when generating Javadoc in Android Studio?

Question

I'm working on an Android project (Java) and I want to generate Javadoc for my classes using the "Generate Javadoc..." option in Android Studio.

I checked the "Include JDK and library sources in -sourcepath" option but I get this error :

C:\Users\...\.gradle\caches\modules-2\files-2.1\org.jetbrains.kotlinx\kotlinx-coroutines-android\1.7.3\3aeb4365c53ed4e61a9caf0778c108352f23507b\kotlinx-coroutines-android-1.7.3-sources.jar(/module-info.java):5: error: module not found: kotlin.stdlib
    requires kotlin.stdlib;
                   ^
C:\Users\...\.gradle\caches\modules-2\files-2.1\org.jetbrains.kotlinx\kotlinx-coroutines-android\1.7.3\3aeb4365c53ed4e61a9caf0778c108352f23507b\kotlinx-coroutines-android-1.7.3-sources.jar(/module-info.java):6: error: module not found: kotlinx.coroutines.core
    requires kotlinx.coroutines.core;
                               ^
error: cannot access module-info
  cannot resolve modules
3 errors

I tried to uncheck the option or change the -sourcepath manually, but then I got new errors like :

error: package android.os does not exist
error: cannot access ...

It seems like it doesn't access the Android packages with that option.

Possible solutions:

Custom scope:

Select "Custom scope" in the "Generate Javadoc..." settings, you restrict Javadoc to processing only your project's source code. This isolates Javadoc from the conflicting external library dependencies.
"-exclude" flag:

The "-exclude" flag, when added to the "Command line arguments" field, provides control over which packages are excluded.

For example, "-exclude org.jetbrains.kotlinx.*" prevents Javadoc from processing any packages within the "org.jetbrains.kotlinx" namespace.
