Convert text to image file on Android

Question

I have a text document (.txt). I want to convert it to an image (.png or .jpg). For example, black text on white background. How can I do that programmatically?

This is what you need:

http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.xmlgraphics/xmlgraphics-commons/1.3.1

I can provide you sample code if you want.

Edit: simple example: package v13;

import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;

import javax.swing.JFileChooser;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;

import org.apache.xmlgraphics.image.codec.png.PNGImageEncoder;

public class Deneme {
    public static void main(String[]args){
        JFrame jf = new JFrame();
        jf.setVisible(true);

        JPanel jp = new JPanel();
        jf.add(jp); 
        JLabel jl = new JLabel("trial text");
        jf.add(jl);
        jf.setSize(300, 200);

        JFileChooser jfc = new JFileChooser();
        int temp = jfc.showSaveDialog(jfc);
        if (temp == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
            System.out.println(jfc.getSelectedFile());
            Component myComponent = jf;
            Dimension size = myComponent.getSize();
            BufferedImage myImage = new BufferedImage(size.width,
                    size.height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
            Graphics2D g2 = myImage.createGraphics();
            myComponent.paint(g2);
            try {
                OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(jfc
                        .getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath()
                        + ".png");
                PNGImageEncoder encoder = new PNGImageEncoder(out, null);
                encoder.encode(myImage);
                out.close();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                System.out.println(e);
            }
        }
       }
    }
