I am trying to make my Android SDK install as light as possible. I am curious if the documentation stuff is needed for auto-complete in Android studio.

For example. In SDK manager under "Android 6.0 (API23)" there is a "Documentation for Android SDK" item to install. Is this required for Android Studio to do proper auto complete on API classes?

No, the auto-complete does not happen using the "Documentation for Android SDK".

It is there for reference when working offline.

E.g. If you write a simple class without documentation, you will get auto-complete for that too.

Hence, the documentation is not used for auto-complete.
