How to find android canvas width before instantiating the canvas object?
I was creating a printdocumentadapter class to generate pdf to print. I needed to automatically calculate how many pages I was going to need based off my data variable(which is just a string containing texts). So I needed to find out the width and height of my canvas in pixels or dp before I actually instantiate the canvas object in my onwrite method. Here is the class file:
public class CustomPrintDocumentAdapter extends PrintDocumentAdapter
private Activity cur;
private int pageCount = 1;
private PrintedPdfDocument pdf;
private String data;
private int textSize = 16;
public CustomPrintDocumentAdapter(Activity current, String data)
this.cur = current;
this.data = data;
@Override
public void onLayout(PrintAttributes oldAttributes, PrintAttributes newAttributes, CancellationSignal cancellationSignal, LayoutResultCallback callback, Bundle extras)
pdf = new PrintedPdfDocument(cur,newAttributes);
if(cancellationSignal.isCanceled())
callback.onLayoutCancelled();
PrintDocumentInfo info = new PrintDocumentInfo.Builder("print_output.pdf").setContentType(PrintDocumentInfo.CONTENT_TYPE_DOCUMENT).setPageCount(pageCount).build();
callback.onLayoutFinished(info,true);
@Override
public void onWrite(PageRange pages, ParcelFileDescriptor destination, CancellationSignal cancellationSignal, WriteResultCallback callback)
PdfDocument.Page page = pdf.startPage(1);
drawPage(page);
pdf.finishPage(page);
try
pdf.writeTo(new FileOutputStream(destination.getFileDescriptor()));
catch(IOException ie)
callback.onWriteFailed(ie.toString());
finally
pdf.close();
callback.onWriteFinished(pages);
public void drawPage(PdfDocument.Page page)
Canvas canvas = page.getCanvas();
TextPaint paint = new TextPaint();
paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
paint.setTextSize(16);
StaticLayout.Builder.obtain(data,0,data.length(),paint,canvas.getWidth()).build().draw(canvas);
Log.d("CustomPrintDocumentAdapter","Canvas width in pixels: "+canvas.getWidth());
//prints D/CustomPrintDocumentAdapter: Canvas width in pixels: 590
//Canvas width in pixel is 590px????
//my screen is only 480 pixels wide yet the canvas displayed is smaller than my screen??
So my question is how do I find the width and height of my canvas object in pixels in my onLayout method?
I am planning on making the canvas fill the entire area on the paper (Any size).
