ConvertWebViewToPdf

Library to create pdf file from webview

Add the following to your project level build.gradle:

    allprojects {	
        repositories {
	        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
        }
    }

Add this to your app build.gradle:

 implementation 'com.github.pramodkr123:ConvertWebViewToPdfDemo:1.0.5'

Permission in Manifest

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

 

If your targetSdkVersion >= 24, then we have to use FileProvider class to give access to the particular file or folder to make them accessible for other apps. Add a FileProvider tag in AndroidManifest.xml under tag.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
...
<application
android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true">
    ...
     <provider
        android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
        android:authorities="com.convertwebviewtopdf.demo.fileprovider"
        android:exported="false"
        android:grantUriPermissions="true">
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
            android:resource="@xml/provider_paths" />
    </provider>
</application>
</manifest>

Then create a provider_paths.xml file in res/xml folder.

<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<external-path
    name="external_files"
    path="." />
<root-path
    name="root"
    path="." />
</paths>

Before Create pdf check this permission for Android 11 devices.

 override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
    // check permission is Granting
    if (requestCode == 1 && Environment.isExternalStorageManager()){
        //write create pdf code here
    }
}
 

Sample code :

        final String fileName="Test.pdf";
        File file = new File(getExternalFilesDir("DemoApp"), fileName);
        if (file.exists()) file.delete();

        final ProgressDialog progressDialog=new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
        progressDialog.setMessage("Please wait");
        progressDialog.show();
        PdfView.createWebPrintJob(MainActivity.this, webView, file.getAbsolutePath(), new PdfView.Callback() {

            @Override
            public void success(String path) {
                progressDialog.dismiss();
                PdfView.openPdfFile(MainActivity.this, getString(R.string.app_name), "Do you want to open the pdf file?" + fileName, path, "com.convertwebviewtopdf.demo.fileprovider");
            }

            @Override
            public void failure(int errorCode) {
                progressDialog.dismiss();
            }
        });
