ConvertWebViewToPdfDemo

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:

 compile 'com.github.pramodkr123:ConvertWebViewToPdfDemo:1.0.4'

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
    ...
     <provider
        android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
        android:authorities="com.package.name.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.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
 <external-path name="external_files" path="."/>
</paths>

Sample code :

            File directory = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM + "/PDFTest/");
            final String fileName="Test.pdf";

            final ProgressDialog progressDialog=new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
            progressDialog.setMessage("Please wait");
            progressDialog.show();
            PdfView.createWebPrintJob(MainActivity.this, webView, directory, fileName, 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);
                }

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

                }
            });
