RecylerView to pdf - android-studio

Question

Hello am new to Android studio
I have made recylerview for transaction details . I need to create pdf for this recylerview items.
Example: I have 24 cardviews in recylerview so need to create pdf with each page 4 cardviews only . So totally I need to get pdf as 6 pages .
How to do that . Thanks in advance.
This is sample image of my view
Am passing below code
recyclerView.measure(View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(recyclerView.getWidth(),View.MeasureSpec.EXACTLY),View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0,View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
Bitmap bm=Bitmap.createBitmap(recyclerView.getWidth(),recyclerView.getMeasuredHeight(),Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
String mpath2="/mnt/sdcard/mathanpaymentpdf";
File imageFile = new File(mpath2);
PDFHelper pdfHelper = new PDFHelper(imageFile,this);
pdfHelper.saveImageToPDF(recyclerView,bm,"mathan"+System.currentTimeMillis());
public class PDFHelper {
private File mFolder;
private File mFile;
private Context mContext;
public PDFHelper(File folder, Context context) {
this.mContext = context;
this.mFolder = folder;
if(!mFolder.exists())
mFolder.mkdirs();
}
public void saveImageToPDF(View title, Bitmap bitmap, String filename) {
mFile = new File(mFolder, filename + ".pdf");
if (!mFile.exists()) {
int height = title.getHeight() + bitmap.getHeight();
PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
PdfDocument.PageInfo pageInfo = new PdfDocument.PageInfo.Builder(bitmap.getWidth(), height, 1).create();
PdfDocument.Page page = document.startPage(pageInfo);
Canvas canvas = page.getCanvas();
title.draw(canvas);
canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, null, new Rect(0, title.getHeight(), bitmap.getWidth(),bitmap.getHeight()), null);
document.finishPage(page);
try {
mFile.createNewFile();
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(mFile);
document.writeTo(out);
document.close();
out.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
This am tried am getting pdf on a single page only
Just I need to split into multiple pages.
Note: I need code in java, not in kotlin

Am solved this by using itext library
implementation 'com.itextpdf:itextpdf:5.0.6'
Then call with RecylerView
public void generatePDF(RecyclerView view) {
RecyclerView.Adapter adapter = view.getAdapter();
int sie2=adapter.getItemCount();
if (sie2 == 0) {
Toast.makeText(this,"No Transactions",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}else{
Bitmap bigBitmap = null;
if (adapter != null) {
int size = adapter.getItemCount();
int height = 0;
Paint paint = new Paint();
int iHeight = 0;
final int maxMemory = (int) (Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory() / 1024);
// Use 1/8th of the available memory for this memory cache.
final int cacheSize = maxMemory / 8;
LruCache<String, Bitmap> bitmaCache = new LruCache<>(cacheSize);
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder = adapter.createViewHolder(view, adapter.getItemViewType(i));
adapter.onBindViewHolder(holder, i);
holder.itemView.measure(View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(view.getWidth(), View.MeasureSpec.EXACTLY),
View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
holder.itemView.layout(0, 0, holder.itemView.getMeasuredWidth(), holder.itemView.getMeasuredHeight());
holder.itemView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
holder.itemView.buildDrawingCache();
Bitmap drawingCache = holder.itemView.getDrawingCache();
if (drawingCache != null) {
bitmaCache.put(String.valueOf(i), drawingCache);
}
height += holder.itemView.getMeasuredHeight();
}
bigBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(view.getMeasuredWidth(), height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas bigCanvas = new Canvas(bigBitmap);
bigCanvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
Document document=new Document();
final File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOCUMENTS), "MAT"+System.currentTimeMillis()+".pdf");
try {
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(file));
} catch (DocumentException | FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
try {
//Adding the content to the document
Bitmap bmp = bitmaCache.get(String.valueOf(i));
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
com.itextpdf.text.Image image= com.itextpdf.text.Image.getInstance(stream.toByteArray());
//Image image = Image.getInstance(stream.toByteArray());
float scaler = ((document.getPageSize().getWidth() - document.leftMargin()
- document.rightMargin() - 50) / image.getWidth()) * 100; // 0 means you have no indentation. If you have any, change it.
image.scalePercent(scaler);
image.setAlignment(com.itextpdf.text.Image.ALIGN_CENTER | com.itextpdf.text.Image.ALIGN_TOP);
if (!document.isOpen()) {
document.open();
}
document.add(image);
} catch (Exception ex) {
Log.e("TAG-ORDER PRINT ERROR", ex.getMessage());
}
}
if (document.isOpen()) {
document.close();
}
// Set on UI Thread
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
android.app.AlertDialog.Builder builder = new android.app.AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivityAdminMain.this);
builder.setTitle("Success")
.setMessage("PDF File Generated Successfully.")
.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert)
.setPositiveButton("Open", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
// dialog.dismiss();
Intent target = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
target.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(file), "application/pdf");
target.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);
Intent intent56 = Intent.createChooser(target, "Open File");
try {
startActivity(intent56);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivityAdminMain.this,"No PDF Viewer Installed.",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}).show();
}
});
}}
}
100% working.. This helps to anyone needs
