Andoroid-XML-to-PDF-Library

Convert an XML layout or a Any View to a PDF file.

To import this library in your Andorid Project add this dependency in your app module build.gradle file:

    implementation 'com.github.native-ss:xml-to-pdf:1.0.0'

Create a PDF from an XML layout:

First create an instance of the PDFBuilder. Calling the setters is optional. All the neccessary fields for building a PDF have default values.

        PDFBuilder builder = new PDFBuilder()
                .setPageWidth(1300)
                .setDirectoryPath(stringPath)
                .setPageHeight(1800)
                .setEmail("dave@live.com")
                .setEmailSubject("Subject test")
                .setPdfFileName("testName")
                .setEmailText("email body");

After that call the PDFGenerator(Context, PDFBuilder).

PDFGenerator generator = new PDFGenerator(this, builder);

And save the PDF. savePdf can take an int [the xml layout id]:

generator.savePdf(R.layout.my_layout);

or a VIEW as a parameter:

final View invoiceLayout = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.my_invoice_layout,
        null);

invoiceLayout.findViewById(R.id.invoice_due_date).setVisibility(View.GONE);
TextView tvHeader = invoiceLayout.findViewById(R.id.invoiceHeader);
tvHeader.setText("My Invoice Header");
        
generator.savePdf(invoiceLayout);

The PDF will be saved in the directoryPath that was set in the PDFBuilder.

Now you can open the PDF or attach it to an EMAIL;

        generator.openPdfFile();
        ---OR---
        generator.attachPdfToEmail();

NOTE: PDFGenerator requires READ and WRITE permissions. User will need to request this permissions before using the library.
