Android Question How to Implement Table View in PDF Document ?

Pravee7094 · Dec 20, 2021

Hello All,
I used below library to create PDF Document.

Printing and Pdf creation

This is an Android 4.4+ (API 19+) library. Its two main features are: 1. Creating Pdf documents with the PdfDocument object. 2. Printing with the Printer object. Lets start with PdfDocument. Dim pdf As PdfDocument pdf.Initialize pdf.StartPage(595, 842) 'A4 size pdf.Canvas.DrawLine(2, 2, 593...

But I can't implement table view in the PDF Creation. If we create html table as string and load it to below event,
pdf.Canvas.DrawText(...)
It Only return the text format, Not table format.

I think we just implement the Html table view in "Printer" Type. (EX : printer.PrintHtml("job", tableString))
But I want table view in PDF document.

Any suggestion ? Any other resources?

Thanks

Any table view. Ex: html table or b4x table view

Example html table view coding:

B4X:

    Dim tableString As String = $"
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<style>
table, th, td {
  border:1px solid black;
}
</style>
<body>

<table style="width:100%">
  <tr>
    <th>Company</th>
    <th>Contact</th>
    <th>Country</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Alfreds Futterkiste</td>
    <td>Maria Anders</td>
    <td>Germany</td>
  </tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>"$

Thanks for your response.

When we have more than 10 columns, some columns are hiding on Right side(Horizontal scrollview B4x table). So we can snapshot the only visible screen. Remaining columns are not covered. So, this example not suitable for me.

Any other ?

Thanks
