POFOP for Android?
text
Body
copied!<p>I recently compiled an Android app using FOP as I want to convert some XML into a PDF file. However I don't think the FOP JAR files are mean't to work on Android. Are there any versions of FOP available for Android? Or any other XML to PDF converter I could use within my app instead of connecting to a FOP enabled server on the Internet?</p> <p>I've tried including fop.jar and the xmlgraphics.jar but even with those added to my project, the call to <code>FopFactory.newInstance()</code> fails.</p> <p>Here's my code snippet for the button click that calls FOP:</p> <pre><code>// Add button listener btnCreatePDF.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance(); OutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(new File("/sdcard/test.pdf"))); Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, out); TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(); Source src = new StreamSource(new File("/sdcard/test.fo")); Result res = new SAXResult(fop.getDefaultHandler()); transformer.transform(src, res); out.close(); } });</code></pre> <p>The compiler is also giving a me a bunch of <code>Dxwarning: Ignoring InnerClasses attribute...</code> errors. Here's the error when I click the button to create the PDF:</p> <pre><code>02-22 14:16:23.641: WARN/System.err(5590): java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Don't know how to handle "application/pdf" as an output format.
