Android create PDF from expandable List View content

I was using RecyclerView to create PDF previously. I want to add share and print functionality for which I want to create PDF with content in it. The method I was using was
public static void generatePDF(RecyclerView view, boolean isShareTrue, Context context, boolean isWeekly) {
RecyclerView.Adapter adapter = view.getAdapter();
Bitmap bigBitmap = null;
if (adapter != null) {
int size = adapter.getItemCount();
int height = 0;
Paint paint = new Paint();
int iHeight = 0;
final int maxMemory = (int) (Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory() / 1024);
// Use 1/8th of the available memory for this memory cache.
final int cacheSize = maxMemory / 8;
LruCache<String, Bitmap> bitmaCache = new LruCache<>(cacheSize);
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder = adapter.createViewHolder(view, adapter.getItemViewType(i));
adapter.onBindViewHolder(holder, i);
holder.itemView.measure(View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(view.getWidth(), View.MeasureSpec.EXACTLY),
View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
holder.itemView.layout(0, 0, holder.itemView.getMeasuredWidth(), holder.itemView.getMeasuredHeight());
holder.itemView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
holder.itemView.buildDrawingCache();
Bitmap drawingCache = holder.itemView.getDrawingCache();
if (drawingCache != null) {
bitmaCache.put(String.valueOf(i), drawingCache);
}
height += holder.itemView.getMeasuredHeight();
}
bigBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(view.getMeasuredWidth(), height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas bigCanvas = new Canvas(bigBitmap);
bigCanvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4);
File file;
if (isWeekly)
file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "Weekly_list_" + AppPreferences.INSTANCE.getUserId() + ".pdf");
else
file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "Open_Cycle_List_" + AppPreferences.INSTANCE.getUserId() + ".pdf");
try {
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(file));
} catch (DocumentException | FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
try {
//Adding the content to the document
Bitmap bmp = bitmaCache.get(String.valueOf(i));
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
Image image = Image.getInstance(stream.toByteArray());
float scaler = ((document.getPageSize().getWidth() - document.leftMargin()
- document.rightMargin() - 0) / image.getWidth()) * 100; // 0 means you have no indentation. If you have any, change it.
image.scalePercent(scaler);
image.setAlignment(com.itextpdf.text.Image.ALIGN_CENTER | com.itextpdf.text.Image.ALIGN_TOP);
if (!document.isOpen()) {
document.open();
}
document.add(image);
} catch (Exception ex) {
Log.e("TAG-ORDER PRINT ERROR", ex.getMessage());
}
}
if (document.isOpen()) {
document.close();
}
if (isShareTrue) {
Intent intentShareFile = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
if (file.exists()) {
Uri pdfUri;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
pdfUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(context, context.getPackageName() + ".provider", file);
} else {
pdfUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
}
intentShareFile.setType("application/pdf");
intentShareFile.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, pdfUri);
intentShareFile.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Sharing File...");
intentShareFile.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Sharing File...");
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intentShareFile, "Share File"));
}
} else {
Toast.makeText(context, "PDF Generated successfully", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
Now I have replaced recycler view with ExpandableListView and my print and share functionality is not working.
I want to create PDF with ExpandableListView content.

Bitmap Image Saved to Internal Storage is Corrupt

I want to design an app that generates a QR code and gives the user the possibility to save the generated image to their internal storage only. I successfully generate the bitmap and save it as .PNG image, but when I try to open it from the gallery it appears broken or corrupt.
Below is the code to generate the bitmap and display it on an ImageView(qrCode):
bitmap = encodeAsBitmap(value);
qrCode.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
Bitmap encodeAsBitmap(String str) throws WriterException {
BitMatrix result;
try {
result = new MultiFormatWriter().encode(str,
BarcodeFormat.QR_CODE, WIDTH, WIDTH, null);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
// Unsupported format
return null;
}
int w = result.getWidth();
int h = result.getHeight();
int[] pixels = new int[w * h];
for (int y = 0; y < h; y++) {
int offset = y * w;
for (int x = 0; x < w; x++) {
pixels[offset + x] = result.get(x, y) ? getResources().getColor(R.color.colorBlack) :
getResources().getColor(R.color.colorWhite);
}
}
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(w, h, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
bitmap.setPixels(pixels, 0, 500, 0, 0, w, h);
return bitmap;
}
It works perfectly up to this level. The user can then click a button in order to save this image to their device's internal storage, thanks to the below method:
public void onClickSaveCode(View view) {
String title = getResources().getString(R.string.saved_image_title_prepend) + stringDate;
String format = getResources().getString(R.string.saved_image_format);
String directory = getResources().getString(R.string.saved_image_directory);
// Method call to save image
saveImageToInternalStorage(bitmap, directory, title, format);
}
public boolean saveImageToInternalStorage(Bitmap bitmap, String directory, String title, String format) {
ContextWrapper contextWrapper = new ContextWrapper(getApplicationContext());
File imageDirectory = contextWrapper.getDir(directory, Context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
File path = new File(imageDirectory, title + format);
try {
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(path);
// Use the compress method on the Bitmap object to write image to the OutputStream
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, QUALITY, fos);
fos.close();
new SingleMediaScanner(this, path);
Toast.makeText(this, getString(R.string.save_success), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return true;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Toast.makeText(this, getString(R.string.save_failure), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return false;
}
}
And finally below is the MediaScannerConnection class to scan for all images saved to the device and display them in the gallery:
public class SingleMediaScanner implements MediaScannerConnectionClient {
private MediaScannerConnection mSC;
private File file;
public SingleMediaScanner(Context context, File f) {
file = f;
mSC = new MediaScannerConnection(context, this);
mSC.connect();
}
#Override
public void onMediaScannerConnected() {
mSC.scanFile(file.getAbsolutePath(), null);
}
#Override
public void onScanCompleted(String path, Uri uri) {
mSC.disconnect();
}
}
The images are saved, yet they appear in the gallery as broken files.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

string path = Android.OS.Environment.ExternalStorageDirectory.AbsolutePath;
string filePath = System.IO.Path.Combine(path, "compressed.png");
//Bitmap bmp = ((BitmapDrawable)imgV.Drawable).Bitmap;
Bitmap b = newBitmap;
FileStream ms = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create);
//FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(filePath,true);
await b.CompressAsync(Bitmap.CompressFormat.Png, 100, ms);
ms.Close();
//ByteArrayOutputStream opstream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
//b.Compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.Png, 100, opstream);
//byte[] bytArray = opstream.ToByteArray();
Toast.MakeText(Application.Context, "Compressed : " , ToastLength.Short).Show();
imgCompress.SetImageBitmap(b);

Accessing Full Frame Using ZXing on Android

We are developing an Android application and using ZXing for scanning QR codes. Is there a way to get full frame of decoded QR code using ZXing ?
Following method is added to PlanarYUVLuminanceSource class.
public void saveFrame() {
try {
YuvImage image = new YuvImage(yuvData, ImageFormat.NV21, getWidth(), getHeight(), null);
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + "/frame.jpeg");
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
image.compressToJpeg(new Rect(0, 0, image.getWidth(), image.getHeight()), 100, fos);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "FileNotFoundException!");
}
}
Called within DecodeHandler class as below,
private void decode(byte[] data, int width, int height) {
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
Result rawResult = null;
PlanarYUVLuminanceSource source = CameraManager.get()
.buildLuminanceSource(data, width, height);
BinaryBitmap bitmap = new BinaryBitmap(new HybridBinarizer(source));
try {
rawResult = multiFormatReader.decodeWithState(bitmap);
} catch (ReaderException re) {
// continue
} finally {
multiFormatReader.reset();
}
if (rawResult != null) {
// Don't log the barcode contents for security.
long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
Log.d(TAG, "Found barcode in " + (end - start) + " ms");
Message message = Message.obtain(activity.getHandler(),
R.id.zxinglib_decode_succeeded, rawResult);
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putParcelable(DecodeThread.BARCODE_BITMAP,
source.renderCroppedGreyscaleBitmap());
source.saveFrame();
message.setData(bundle);
message.sendToTarget();
} else {
Message message = Message.obtain(activity.getHandler(),
R.id.zxinglib_decode_failed);
message.sendToTarget();
}
}
Here is result image,

Finally I found a solution. It is based on renderCroppedGreyscaleBitmap() method of PlanarYUVLuminanceSource class. Here is how I changed decode() method.
private void decode(byte[] data, int width, int height) {
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
Result rawResult = null;
PlanarYUVLuminanceSource source = CameraManager.get().buildLuminanceSource(data, width, height);
BinaryBitmap bitmap = new BinaryBitmap(new HybridBinarizer(source));
try {
rawResult = multiFormatReader.decodeWithState(bitmap);
} catch (ReaderException re) {
// continue
} finally {
multiFormatReader.reset();
}
if (rawResult != null) {
// Don't log the barcode contents for security.
long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
Log.d(TAG, "Found barcode in " + (end - start) + " ms");
// Grab & save frame
Bitmap wholeBmp = renderGrayScaleBitmap(data, width, height);
if(wholeBmp != null)
saveBitmap(wholeBmp, "frame.png");
else
Log.e(TAG, "Bitmap of frame is empty!");
Message message = Message.obtain(activity.getHandler(), R.id.zxinglib_decode_succeeded, rawResult);
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putParcelable(DecodeThread.BARCODE_BITMAP, source.renderCroppedGreyscaleBitmap());
message.setData(bundle);
message.sendToTarget();
} else {
Message message = Message.obtain(activity.getHandler(), R.id.zxinglib_decode_failed);
message.sendToTarget();
}
}
Create bitmap from decode data
private Bitmap renderGrayScaleBitmap(byte[] data, int width, int height) {
int[] pixels = new int[width * height];
int inputOffset = width;
for (int y = 0; y < height; y++) {
int outputOffset = y * width;
for (int x = 0; x < width; x++) {
int grey = data[inputOffset + x] & 0xff;
pixels[outputOffset + x] = 0xFF000000 | (grey * 0x00010101);
}
inputOffset += width;
}
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
bitmap.setPixels(pixels, 0, width, 0, 0, width, height);
return bitmap;
}
Save bitmap to sdcard
private void saveBitmap(Bitmap bmp, String name) {
FileOutputStream out = null;
try {
String filename = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + "/" + name;
Log.i(TAG, "writtenPath=" + filename);
out = new FileOutputStream(filename);
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
if (out != null) {
out.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

Taking android screen shot of whole screen

My application has a list view in relative layout. Now I need to take a screen shot of the entire layout including all the content available in the list view and also other contents like button and text view showing in the layout. But my code takes only the visible part of the screen. Here the view is parent layout.
public void screen(){
View v1 = findViewById(R.id.screenRoot);
rel.layout(0, 0, rel.getMeasuredWidth(),rel.getMeasuredHeight());
View v = v1.getRootView();
v.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
/* v.measure(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(w, w),
MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(h, h));*/
// v.layout(0, 0, rel.getWidth(), rel.getHeight());
v.buildDrawingCache(true);
System.out.println("rel "+rel.getHeight()+" "+v.getHeight());
Bitmap b = v.getDrawingCache();
v.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);
String extr = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
File myPath = new File(extr, "tiket"+".jpg");
FileOutputStream fos = null;
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream(myPath);
b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fos);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(), b, "Screen", "screen");
System.out.println("my path "+myPath+" "+fos);
}catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Image Captured Successfully", 0).show();
}

Call getBitmapFromView from your Click event or any thing.
R.id.root is my main RelativeLayout So you can pass you main layout.
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)this.getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
RelativeLayout root = (RelativeLayout)inflater.inflate(R.layout.youlayourfile,null);
root.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
Bitmap bmp = getBitmapFromView(this.getWindow().getDecorView().findViewById(R.id.root).getRootView());
URI uri = storPrintFile(bmp);
This function returns the Bitmap of your layout. Now you just need to store the bitmap into your device and anywhere else.
public Bitmap getBitmapFromView(View v) {
v.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
v.measure(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED),
MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
v.layout(0, 0, v.getMeasuredWidth(), v.getMeasuredHeight());
Bitmap b = Bitmap.createBitmap(v.getMeasuredWidth(),
v.getMeasuredHeight(), Bitmap.Config.RGB_565);
Canvas c = new Canvas(b);
v.draw(c);
return b;
}
Storing bitmap into device.
public URI storPrintFile(Bitmap bitmapToStore){
ContextWrapper cw = new ContextWrapper(getApplicationContext());
String path = cw.getDir("CapturedImages",Context.MODE_PRIVATE).getPath();
File file = new File(path);
boolean isFileCreated = false;
if (!file.exists()) {
isFileCreated = file.mkdir();
System.out.println("Directory created in Internal Storage is :" + path);
}
String current = "Screen.jpg";//uniqueId.replace(" ", "-").replace(":", "-") + ".jpeg";
System.out.println("Internal Storage path is : " + current);
File mypath = new File(file, current);
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(mypath);
bitmapToStore.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return mypath.toURI();
}

How to convert all content in a scrollview to a bitmap?

I use below code to convert, but it seems can only get the content in the display screen and can not get the content not in the display screen.
Is there a way to get all the content even out of scroll?
Bitmap viewBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(mScrollView.getWidth(),mScrollView.getHeight(),Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(viewBitmap);
mScrollView.draw(canvas);

We can convert all the contents of a scrollView to a bitmap image using the code shown below
private void takeScreenShot()
{
View u = ((Activity) mContext).findViewById(R.id.scroll);
HorizontalScrollView z = (HorizontalScrollView) ((Activity) mContext).findViewById(R.id.scroll);
int totalHeight = z.getChildAt(0).getHeight();
int totalWidth = z.getChildAt(0).getWidth();
Bitmap b = getBitmapFromView(u,totalHeight,totalWidth);
//Save bitmap
String extr = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/Folder/";
String fileName = "report.jpg";
File myPath = new File(extr, fileName);
FileOutputStream fos = null;
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream(myPath);
b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fos);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(mContext.getContentResolver(), b, "Screen", "screen");
}catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public Bitmap getBitmapFromView(View view, int totalHeight, int totalWidth) {
Bitmap returnedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(totalWidth,totalHeight , Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(returnedBitmap);
Drawable bgDrawable = view.getBackground();
if (bgDrawable != null)
bgDrawable.draw(canvas);
else
canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
view.draw(canvas);
return returnedBitmap;
}

The Pops answer is really good, but in some case you could have to create a really big bitmap which could trigger a OutOfMemoryException when you create the bitmap.
So I made a little optimization to be gently with the memory :)
public static Bitmap getBitmapFromView(View view, int totalHeight, int totalWidth) {
int height = Math.min(MAX_HEIGHT, totalHeight);
float percent = height / (float)totalHeight;
Bitmap canvasBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap((int)(totalWidth*percent),(int)(totalHeight*percent), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(canvasBitmap);
Drawable bgDrawable = view.getBackground();
if (bgDrawable != null)
bgDrawable.draw(canvas);
else
canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
canvas.save();
canvas.scale(percent, percent);
view.draw(canvas);
canvas.restore();
return canvasBitmap;
}

This one works for me
To save the bitmap check runtime permission first
#OnClick(R.id.donload_arrow)
public void DownloadBitMap()
{
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
{
downloadData();
Log.e("callPhone: ", "permission" );
} else {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 0);
Toast.makeText(this, "need permission", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
To get bitmap
private void downloadData() {
ScrollView iv = (ScrollView) findViewById(R.id.scrollView);
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(
iv.getChildAt(0).getWidth()*2,
iv.getChildAt(0).getHeight()*2,
Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas c = new Canvas(bitmap);
c.scale(2.0f, 2.0f);
c.drawColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorPrimary));
iv.getChildAt(0).draw(c);
// Do whatever you want with your bitmap
saveBitmap(bitmap);
}
To save the bitmap
public void saveBitmap(Bitmap bitmap) {
File folder = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() +
File.separator + "SidduInvoices");
boolean success = true;
if (!folder.exists()) {
success = folder.mkdirs();
}
if (success) {
// Do something on success
} else {
// Do something else on failure
}
File imagePath = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/SidduInvoices/Siddus.png");
if(imagePath.exists())
{
imagePath=new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/SidduInvoices/Siddus"+custamername.getText().toString()+".png");
}
FileOutputStream fos;
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream(imagePath);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fos);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
progressBar.cancel();
final File finalImagePath = imagePath;
new SweetAlertDialog(this, SweetAlertDialog.SUCCESS_TYPE)
.setTitleText("Saved")
.setContentText("Do you want to share this with whatsapp")
.setCancelText("No,cancel !")
.setConfirmText("Yes,share it!")
.showCancelButton(true)
.setConfirmClickListener(new SweetAlertDialog.OnSweetClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(SweetAlertDialog sweetAlertDialog) {
sweetAlertDialog.cancel();
shareImage(finalImagePath);
}
})
.setCancelClickListener(new SweetAlertDialog.OnSweetClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(SweetAlertDialog sDialog) {
sDialog.cancel();
}
})
.show();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
Log.e("GREC", e.getMessage(), e);
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("GREC", e.getMessage(), e);
}
}

You need get the total width and height of the scrollview, or you created viewBitmap is too small to contain the full content of the scrollview.
check this link
Android: Total height of ScrollView

The issue here is that the only actual pixel content that ever exists is that which is visible on the display screen. Android and other mobile platforms are very careful about memory use and one of the ways a scrolling view can maintain performance is to not draw anything that is offscreen. So there is no "full" bitmap anywhere -- the memory containing the content that moves offscreen is recycled.
