How to create PDFs in an Android app? [closed]

Solution 2:

If you are developing for devices with API level 19 or higher you can use the built in PrintedPdfDocument: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/print/pdf/PrintedPdfDocument.html

// open a new document
PrintedPdfDocument document = new PrintedPdfDocument(context,
     printAttributes);

// start a page
Page page = document.startPage(0);

// draw something on the page
View content = getContentView();
content.draw(page.getCanvas());

// finish the page
document.finishPage(page);
. . .
// add more pages
. . .
// write the document content
document.writeTo(getOutputStream());

//close the document
document.close();
