Hi @shyimon and thanks for reporting this issue. It sounds like you might not have downloaded the reference, which is now a separate download due to its size. We are working on reducing the reference size so that it can be included again with the main download in the future.
In the meantime, you can download the reference by navigating to Help > Download Offline Reference in the Processing software. Once you've downloaded the reference, please try accessing the Environment Help again and let us know if you're still experiencing issues.

Thanks, was not aware that the reference was downloadable separately!

Oh… this is a bug in Android Mode, which needs to use the new reference setup. When using Java Mode, it will open the online reference if the offline reference hasn't yet been downloaded.
Moving to the Android Mode repository so it can get fixed.
