Android Code Snippet Drawing Multiline Text

This code creates a label with the text and returns a snapshot of the label:

Sub TextToBitmap (Width As Int, Fnt As B4XFont, Clr As Int, Text As Object) As B4XBitmap
   Dim lbl As Label
   lbl.Initialize("")
   Dim x As B4XView = lbl
   x.Font = Fnt
   x.TextColor = Clr
   x.SetLayoutAnimated(0, 0, 0, Width, 0)
   Dim su As StringUtils
   x.Height = su.MeasureMultilineTextHeight(x, Text)
   x.Text = Text
   Return x.Snapshot
End Sub

Depends on: XUI, StringUtils

Usage example of drawing multiline text on a PDF document (Printing library):

Sub Process_Globals
   Private rp As RuntimePermissions
   Private xui As XUI
End Sub

Sub Globals

End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   rp.CheckAndRequest(rp.PERMISSION_WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
   Wait For Activity_PermissionResult (Permission As String, Result As Boolean)
   If Result Then
       Dim pdf As PdfDocument
       pdf.Initialize
       pdf.StartPage(595, 842) 'A4 size
       Dim bmp As B4XBitmap = TextToBitmap(200dip, xui.CreateDefaultBoldFont(20), xui.Color_Black, _
        $"s dflkj sdfkls
dffwje klfj wlkef jwlke fjlwkef jklwe jflkwe jflkwe jflkwe jflkwe jfl

         Dim rect As Rect
       rect.Initialize(30, 30, 0, 0)
       rect.Width = bmp.Width / bmp.Scale
       rect.Height = bmp.Height / bmp.Scale
       pdf.Canvas.DrawBitmap(bmp, Null, rect)
       pdf.FinishPage
       Dim out As OutputStream = File.OpenOutput(File.DirRootExternal, "1.pdf", False)
       pdf.WriteToStream(out)
       out.Close
       pdf.Close
   End If
End Sub
