Android: PdfDocument generates empty pdf

Question

        PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
        // crate a page description
        PageInfo pageInfo = new PageInfo.Builder(300, 300, 1).create();
                


        

Answer 1

I had the exact same problem but in order to implement @user2021505 solution (that works) I should have done a major refactor, so I solved the issue this way

// ...
PdfDocument.Page page = document.startPage(pageInfo);

TextView textView = new TextView(ctx);
textView.setText("1,2,3");

// here the solution
int left = 0;
int top = 0;
int width = 200;
int height = 200;
textView.layout(0,0,width,height);

canvas.save()
canvas.translate(left,top);

textView.draw(page.getCanvas());

canvas.restore()
