How to use Dokka to generate Docs like Kotlinlang.org

AFAIK Kotlin's Documentation was made using Dokka. But the Examples stated in Dokka's Readme is only generating ultra basic webpages/markdown files with no elegance whatsoever.
It just looks like this
Here's another one by Atrium, docs link.
I'm wondering if I'm doing anything wrong.
I've also looked at the issues page and been browsing through other open source github projects that has used Dokka and the result is always the same.
Now a good example of how a tool that generates beautiful documentation would be Jazzy by Realm for Swift/Obj-C. Using it can be as easy as running one command on the terminal.
Here's an example documentation created using Jazzy
Further research with suggests that I may have to use third party tools like Gitbook or Jekyll to generate the kind of documentation I'm looking, is that really the only way?

Kotlinlang uses some custom styles for one of the dokka's output formats. Development on some better looking docs is underway

jsqmessagesviewcontroller like elagant message library for android

I am trying to create a messaging app and want to use any existing messaging library for doing so. I found Jsqmessagesiviewcontroller library for IOS which is open source and is pretty easy to use. However, I am not able to find any similar library for Android. Does anyone knows about any messaging library present for android is open source and can be easily modified and customized for different use cases?
NOTE: I have found, https://github.com/guardianproject/ChatSecureAndroid, which looks promising but would like to know if there more options to consider.
Thanks in Advance.

We're just released JSQMessagesViewController-like library to create UI for chats. Check it out on GitHub:
http://github.com/stfalcon-studio/ChatKit

Ok, found another project:
https://atlas.layer.com/android
It's 100% OpenSource

Android Bootstrap what is that really, what does it do?

According to this link www.androidbootstrap.com/‎ I am wondering what does it really do, what is for? Am I supposed to use it?
I've read all text on this main page but I am still confused and I do not know should I use it.
The main problem is I don't see the point. Could someone tell me what is it for?
I am open for new technologies but here is the example where I don't understand, but they say that using their package will shorten my work on application.
Regards and I am looking for any information.

I am wondering what does it really do
It generates a skeleton Android project containing specific libraries. It is reminiscent of the new-project wizard in Eclipse, just supporting more third-party libraries, particularly ones that may be a bit of a challenge to get working together.

I had a look at this project to provide a quick set up for actionbarsherlock and dagger DI.
I think it’s a good idea as it seeks to provide an android template, with an out the box solution including sherlock and dagger. But I couldn’t get it working on eclipse, and the forum had a lot of people saying the same (I think its designed for Intelij IDEA)
I also looked at androidkickstartr which is more mature, but again had import issues, so just made my own template and imported sherlock and dagger

Quick Dialog like framework for Android?

I'm looking for something like Quick Dialog (http://escoz.com/open-source/quickdialog) which can be used to build and instantiate views for iOS from a JSON file (or some representation). Is there any framework similar to that for Android which i can use to build my Android views from a JSON file or similar format ? Please let me know.
Quick Dialog JSON Builder: http://escoz.com/open-source/quickdialog/json-builder
Thank you.
Cheers,
Simith

I just released an open-source library that offers this functionality on Android. It's called NexusDialog. Check it out here: https://github.com/dkharrat/NexusDialog
Hope this helps.

I haven't yet seen a framework for android like QuickDialog, unfortunately.
The closest I've seen is MVVMCross, which builds on top of Mono For Android: https://github.com/slodge/MvvmCross.

Learning resources for Android Open Source Project (AOSP)

I can't find any good learning resource on AOSP. Can't find any books, or comperhensive web resources on that topic. Book that would cover all topics about it would be best. Like how to setup enviroment, download code, use repo/git, change basic things, make custom roms, etc etc. Is there any book like that? Or any other resource on web that have that info in one place?

Karim Yaghmour's embedded android covers a fair bit of AOSP stuff. There are some good videos by Tim Bird and Yaghmour, google for those.
If you want to create custom roms you probably want the xda-developers and their forums or cyanogen.
Repo docs are fairly sparse: see this post for that.

this could be a start : http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html

The resource that really introduced me in this topic is this. There are two videos that give basic knowledge about the AOSP development process. After that, the best your choice is Google :) But then you'll know what to answer!
