I have been trying to write PDF files on android ,when i am using internal storage it shows no error but i am unable to see the file created and if i change path to external storage i get permission denied even though i have given permission in my manifest file. I have creating a class which i am calling from activity to write files it fetches data from database. Here is the code.
public boolean createPdfFile(String path, Employee employee,String month,Context context){
boolean status=false;
if(path!=null && employee!=null){
Document document=new Document();
try{
if(!Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(Environment.getExternalStorageState())){
Toast.makeText(this, "External SD card not mounted", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
File sdCard=Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File file=new File(sdCard,month+"_"+employee.getEmployeeName()+".pdf");
PdfWriter writer=PdfWriter.getInstance(document,new FileOutputStream(file));
writer.setEncryption(employee.getDateOfBirth().getBytes(),employee.getEmployeeName().getBytes(), PdfWriter.ALLOW_PRINTING,PdfWriter.ENCRYPTION_AES_128);
document.open();
Paragraph p=new Paragraph();
p.add("Payslip for the month of January");
p.setFont(new Font(Font.FontFamily.TIMES_ROMAN, 12, Font.BOLD, new BaseColor(1, 1, 1)));
p.setAlignment(Element.ALIGN_CENTER);
document.add(p);
PdfPTable table=new PdfPTable(2);
table.setWidthPercentage(100); //Width 100%
table.setSpacingBefore(10f); //Space before table
table.setSpacingAfter(10f); //Space after table
float[] columnWidths = {1.5f, 1.5f};
table.setWidths(columnWidths);
table.addCell("Employee Code");
table.addCell(employee.getEmployeeID());
table.addCell("Department");
table.addCell(employee.getDepartment().getDepartmentName());
table.addCell("Date of Birth");
table.addCell(employee.getDateOfBirth());
table.addCell("Date of Joining");
table.addCell(employee.getDateOfJoining());
table.addCell("Employee Name");
table.addCell(employee.getEmployeeName());
document.add(table);
document.close();
writer.close();
status=true;
}catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
status=false;
Log.e("PDF exception aaa",e.getMessage());
}catch (DocumentException e) {
status=false;
Log.e("PDF exception abc",e.getMessage());
} catch (IOException e) {
status=false;
Log.e("PDF exception",e.getMessage());
}
}
return status;
}
