Pdf Generator Issue -table view about pdfcreatorandroid

Looks like you changed some stuff inside library, PDFTextView constructor has unknown parameter false and "", check your PDFTextView class.

If i just use your getHeaderView() and getBodyViews() code in this library (as it was intended), you get result as this PDF File.

result.pdf

Also, if you are trying to create a PDF that this library cannot produce, please tell me as i can try to add those API's.

This library renders a view to pdf, it has to be rendered on a Screen (it can have visibility as INVISIBLE). Without rendering, we cannot determine height taken by that view.

If you do not want to show preview to user, You can call finish() on the activity once pdf is generated. User won't see any preview and you will get generated pdf file.

Is there any posiblities like pagination .
like in 1st page 15 records 2nd page 20records like that

[tejpratap46]

Just make your last records Row height as match parent. It will fill all space and no other view can be added to that page.

But be aware, if your data is dynamic and your last row comes to next page, it will make that page empty.

ok how to find last row record of every page .

[tejpratap46]

I thought you knew which is the last record as you said

"1st page 15 records 2nd page 20records"

So in your first page, make 15th record's row height as match_parent and in second page make 20th redocr's row height as match_parent.

If you want to know which view will be last in a page, there is no such API available.

Library calculate if there is enough space in current page to add next view, if yes then next view will be added to current page else that view will be added to a new page with Header.

If you want to limit 15 records for first page, make 15th record's height as match_parent. Or add a text view with height match_parent to fill current page.

and want to know where this Library calculate if there is enough space in current page

It is calculated in PDFCreatorActivity.createPDFFromViewList(), when this function waits till all view is rendered in activity view so we can get height required by every view, then we add views to page one by one and check remaining space should be >height of next view.
