I'm compiling using Android 4.4.2 (API19) but running on Android 4.1.1 API 16. Is there an Android support library,or something, so I can use PdfDocument.java (API 19) in Jellybean API 16 ?

code:

import android.graphics.pdf.PdfDocument;
import android.graphics.pdf.PdfDocument.Page;
import android.graphics.pdf.PdfDocument.PageInfo;

        PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();

Error log:

07-22 14:58:41.869: E/dalvikvm(4165): Could not find class
'android.graphics.pdf.PdfDocument', referenced from method com.example.html2pdf.Html2pdfActivity.button1onClick

07-22 14:59:33.965: E/AndroidRuntime(4165): Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: android.graphics.pdf.PdfDocument

Can I package up the required system library and put it in my App ? (or somehow bypass/relocate the system call) ?

Answer 1

No, sorry, Google has not published a backport of PdfDocument or pretty much anything related to the Android 4.4+ printing APIs.

Answer 2

Still, google has not backported the PdfDocument API (API 19). But you can use pdfium library from AOSP or the fork from PdfiumAndroid for PDF document.
