PDF Wirt DroidText


Here is my simple example which show how to genrate pdf file from android including text and images.

Here I keep this example simple, So you can understand easily.

But following are requirement for this project

Adding droidText to your project

There are two possibilities to add droidText to your project.
Android library project (recommended)
Check out droidText from svn and import it into your eclipse workspace (see here for checkout instructions and here for import instructions)
Add a reference to the droidText library project in your project as described in the Android Developer reference.

and here is our UI xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

        android:ems="10"

        android:hint="Type to add text in pdf" >

        <requestFocus />

    </EditText>

</RelativeLayout>

WE REQUIR TWO PERMITIONS AS 

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
