Commented Dec 11, 2013 at 6:10 @Prince try with following answer else here is online api Commented Dec 11, 2013 at 6:11WebView have inbuilt method called setPictureListener Use that method as below
webView1.setPictureListener(new PictureListener() < public void onNewPicture(WebView view, Picture picture) < if (picture != null) < try < bmp = pictureDrawable2Bitmap(new PictureDrawable( picture)); >catch (Exception e) < e.printStackTrace(); >> > >); For obtaining bitmap i have used pictureDrawable2Bitmap and here is that one
private static Bitmap pictureDrawable2Bitmap(PictureDrawable pictureDrawable)
Now Your Bitmap is ready,Now set webview client as below
webView1.setWebViewClient(new myWebClient()); And here is myWebClient
public class myWebClient extends WebViewClient < @Override public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) < // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon); >@Override public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) < // TODO Auto-generated method stub view.loadUrl(url); return true; >@Override public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) < // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onPageFinished(view, url); Log.i("OnPageLoadFinished", url); img.setImageBitmap(bmp); >As shown on page load finished i have set image bitmap which is snap of current loaded url on your webview
Now Bitmap is ready pass that bitmap to Pdf using IText Library
Here is an example of writing pdf with image on iText Use Below function for that
public void SimplePDFTable() throws Exception < File direct = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() .getAbsolutePath() + "/AamirPDF"); if (!direct.exists()) < if (direct.mkdir()) < Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Folder Is created in sd card", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT) .show(); >> String test = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() .getAbsolutePath() + "/AamirPDF"; Document document = new Document(); PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(test + "/mypdf.pdf")); document.open(); ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream); byte[] byteArray = stream.toByteArray(); Image image = Image.getInstance(byteArray); image.scaleToFit(PageSize.A4.getHeight(), PageSize.A4.getWidth()); document.add(image); document.close(); >
