This class is a helper for creating a PDF file for given print attributes. It is useful for implementing printing via the native Android graphics APIs.
This class computes the page width, page height, and content rectangle from the provided print
attributes and these precomputed values can be accessed via getPageWidth()
,
getPageHeight()
, and getPageContentRect()
, respectively. The
startPage(int)
methods creates pages whose
PageInfo
is initialized with the precomputed
values for width, height, and content rectangle.
A typical use of the APIs looks like this:
// open a new document PrintedPdfDocument document = new PrintedPdfDocument(context, printAttributes); // start a page Page page = document.startPage(0); // draw something on the page View content = getContentView(); content.draw(page.getCanvas()); // finish the page document.finishPage(page); . . . // add more pages . . . // write the document content document.writeTo(getOutputStream()); //close the document document.close();
