android-awt

This is a fork of windwardadmin/android-awt

This project provides java.awt and javax.imagio since we can't use these classes on Android. Code is took from Apache Harmony, Apache Commons Imaging and witwall/appengine-awt.

Disclaimer: This library is HACKISH and experimental. You should NOT use this in production.

It started as a proof-of-concept to make OpenPDF work on Android. I never used it in production.

To generate PDF files locally on an Android Device, there are a lot of commercial and open source options:

• Apache PdfBox (open source), although it's a bit difficult to use
• iText 7 (commercial), it's expensive because it offers pay-per-device licensing model, the more users, the more pricier
• PSPDFKit, Foxit and other commercial libraries with Android in mind. They are expensive as iText and not so fully featured (some of them just converts html to pdf)
• UniDoc UniPDF Go library (commercial) + gomobile. I use this in production, it's the cheapest, it is full featured like iText, it offers single license per unlimited devices and technical support is great.
• (free solution) You can also generate html then convert it to pdf via webview. See this.
