Create Pdf File In Android Programmatically

Video Demo:



Now we can use PdfDocument to generate the pdf file. But PdfDocument only works in 21 or above api level. In this tutorial I have created the pdf file with image and text. Download source code from here.

AndroidManifest.xml:

    package="com.deepshikha.generatepdf">

   
   

   
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
       
           
               

               
           

       

       
   


activity_main.xml:

    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="#ffffff"
    android:orientation="vertical">

  1. Hi, is the generate button functionality supposed to take a snapshot of the entire screen (even if it is a scrolling view of more than one screen) and display as a congested single view on the PDF view display?
    that's whats happening when I download the sourcecode for this sample and run it. If it is a sigle screen, its fine, but if there are multiple screens, all of them are compressed within a single screen in the pdfviewer.
    Could you please advise how to make this as is saved.
    thanks

    1. Hello,

      Yes it will take the screenshot of entire screen and then create the pdf file. But if you want to create the multiple pages with following code:

      PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
      PdfDocument.PageInfo pageInfo = new PdfDocument.PageInfo.Builder(convertWidth, convertHighet, 1).create();

      Thanks!
