To incorporate the iTextG jar file into your project, follow these steps:
public void generateAndShowPdf(String text) {
Document doc = new Document();
try {
String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/Dir";
File dir = new File(path);
if(!dir.exists())
dir.mkdirs();
File file = new File(dir, "newFile.pdf");
FileOutputStream fOut = new FileOutputStream(file);
PdfWriter.getInstance(doc, fOut);
//open the document
doc.open();
Paragraph p1 = new Paragraph(text);
Font paraFont= new Font(Font.COURIER);
p1.setAlignment(Paragraph.ALIGN_CENTER);
p1.setFont(paraFont);
//add paragraph to document
doc.add(p1);
} catch (DocumentException de) {
Log.e("PDFCreator", "DocumentException:" + de);
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("PDFCreator", "ioException:" + e);
}
finally {
doc.close();
}
displayPdf("newFile.pdf", "Dir");
}
// Method for displaying a pdf file
private void displayPdf(String file, String directory) {
File pdfFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + directory + "/" + file);
Uri path = Uri.fromFile(pdfFile);
// Setting the intent for pdf reader
Intent pdfIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
pdfIntent.setDataAndType(path, "application/pdf");
pdfIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
try {
startActivity(pdfIntent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
Toast.makeText(TableActivity.this, "Can't read pdf file", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
