Convert web page to pdf

 To convert a web page on a WebView to pdf in Sketchware, follow the steps given below.

1. Create a more block extra in your Sketchware project and put following codes in it.

}

android.print.PrintJob printJob;


@androidx.annotation.RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)

private void PrintTheWebPage(WebView webView) {

android.print.PrintManager printManager = (android.print.PrintManager) this.getSystemService(Context.PRINT_SERVICE);

String jobName = "My_webpage" + webView.getUrl();

android.print.PrintDocumentAdapter printAdapter = webView.createPrintDocumentAdapter(jobName);

assert printManager != null;

printJob = printManager.print(jobName, printAdapter, new android.print.PrintAttributes.Builder().build());

}

{


2. In the button click event for saving the webpage as pdf put following codes.

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {

PrintTheWebPage(webview1);

} else { 

showMessage("Not available for device below Android LOLLIPOP");

}


Here change webview1 to id of your WebView.


3. Done. Save and run the project. For more understanding watch the video below.
