To load a URL and print it as a PDF on Android, you can use the WebView and PdfDocument classes provided by the Android SDK. Here is an example code snippet:
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.pdf.PdfDocument;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.print.PrintAttributes;
import android.print.pdf.PrintedPdfDocument;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
public class PdfPrinter {
private Context context;
public PdfPrinter(Context context) {
this.context = context;
}
public void printUrlAsPdf(String url, String fileName) {
WebView webView = new WebView(context);
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
// When the page finished loading, generate the PDF
new PdfGenerator().execute(webView);
}
});
webView.loadUrl(url);
}
private class PdfGenerator extends AsyncTask<WebView, Void, Void> {
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(WebView... webViews) {
PdfDocument document = new PrintedPdfDocument(context, new PrintAttributes.Builder().build());
PdfDocument.PageInfo pageInfo = new PdfDocument.PageInfo.Builder(webViews[0].getWidth(), webViews[0].getContentHeight(), 1).create();
PdfDocument.Page page = document.startPage(pageInfo);
Canvas canvas = page.getCanvas();
webViews[0].draw(canvas);
document.finishPage(page);
try {
FileOutputStream outputStream = context.openFileOutput(fileName, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
document.writeTo(outputStream);
outputStream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
document.close();
return null;
}
}
}
You can then use the printUrlAsPdf
method of the PdfPrinter
class to print the URL as a PDF. The url
parameter specifies the URL to load, and the fileName
parameter specifies the name of the PDF file to save. For example:
PdfPrinter pdfPrinter = new PdfPrinter(context);
pdfPrinter.printUrlAsPdf("https://www.example.com", "example.pdf");
Note that this code requires the android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
permission to save the PDF file.
