Android Question Simple example of PDF creating code needed

[wdegler]

Needed: a simple example of code which creates a PDF file with a string of text, a line and a bitmap.

I have tried using PDFDoc, PDFWriter and PDFJetB4A libraries attempting to find and use a suitable simple example without success. They don't seem to work with Android v2.2. Functions to display such examples to the screen also don't work.

Can anyone help?

Why do you need to support Android 2.2?
It is installed on less than 0.1% of the devices: https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html

Example of creating PDF documents on Android 4.4+: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/printing-and-pdf-creation.76712/

Thank you for providing a PDF example. It will be very useful to me.

I asked about Android version 2.2 because I develop apps with such a device (10 published).
I guess I'll have to buy a new (expensive) Android device.

Where can I download PDFDocument.jar and PDFDocument.xml?'

I have not found these files for PDFDocument. In the list provided under B4A Help, there is PDFWriter and PDFViewer but not PDFDocument.
Where should I be looking?

I thank you, Don, for your response. Pardon my persistence.

I have already looked carefully at Erel's thread.
I see the link to Printing.zip but I see no link to PDFDocument.zip or the like.
What am I missing?

I see the link to Printing.zip but I see no link to PDFDocument.zip or the like.

Read my answers carefully! I already told that the pdfdocument is INSIDE this zip. Use the lib inside and you are fine.

Thank you for this clarification, Don! NOW, I have it!
