Android Tutorial Create PDF with b4a and php

Hallo,

from time to time someone is asking on how to create a pdf with b4a.
I dont know how to do that ONLY with b4a.

Today i spend a few hours to write a b4a-example and a php-script which creates the pdf using fpdf.

ATTENTION: This b4a-example uses CreateMap so you need B4A V3.8 for it to work...

The logic "in app" is simple.
- A list with commands is created and send to php-script.
- The php-script do all given commands in order to create a pdf.
- The pdf is then written to disc and the url to this pdf is returned to the app.
- The app see this url and download this pdf
- After finished downloading the pdf it is showed in a pdf-viewer

As you can see; most of the fpdf-features are wrapped in php-script

To TEST you can use the url provided in the example. But please, if you want to USE it in your app. Please use your own webserver!

Hope you enjoy this example and be the code a kind of help in your future projects

Version 1.1 of PHP-Script now uses mpdf- instead of fpdf-class and is now able to use unicode


Due to the size of the php-archive you need to download it here. It´s all you need on php to run that on your server.

sure it will need some time to "design" a nice PDF-"Invoice-Layout" with this commands. But it is possible and it is flexible
 
1) Local pictures (on Android) can be used ?
2) Seems, URL base should be edited in your PHP-script ?
3) What is the requirements to PHP on the hosting ? Any lib installed ?
 
1) No; you need to upload it to your server first. It must be accessible from the php-file
2) Aeh, what? I did not understand what you want to know
3) gdlib should be installed. php must allow to use file_get_contents to get a file from url too
 
Thanks, just mention this in the topic start.
 
Hy, running the example in Debug Legacy i have this error

can i use this with B4J ?
Click to expand...
It is just using okhttputils2 for the http jobs. Yes, it can be used in B4J and even B4i i guess.
