Android Studio shows useless docs instead of JavaDocs on hover

Question

How do I get Android Studio to show JavaDocs when I hover over a method?

I'm running Android Studio and have "Show quick doc on mouse move" enabled. However, when I hover over a method it just shows some useless docs.

I would like it to show the actual JavaDocs. Is this possible?

Keep holding ctrl key in your keyboard and hover over the method you want to see the JavaDocs for it, then simply click on it.

I'm not pressing the alt key to being with. But when I do hold down the alt key nothing different happens. – Steve Kuo Aug 21 '15 at 22:36
Sorry I forgot, it's ctrl key. If it still doesn't show anything, try ctrl + q. – Hussein El Feky Aug 21 '15 at 22:38
I'm looking for a solution that does not involve pressing down a key, see my original question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6615516 – Steve Kuo Aug 21 '15 at 22:39
