How to print whole WebView(Scrollable)?

Question

I want to print the whole WebView on Button Click.

I used Citizen Printer. I tried Below way.

private Bitmap CitizenWebPrint(WebView webView) {
    Bitmap bitmapCitizen = null;
    Picture capturePicture = webView.capturePicture();
    int width = capturePicture.getWidth();
    int height = capturePicture.getHeight();

    try {
        bitmapCitizen = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.RGB_565);
    } catch (OutOfMemoryError e) {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"2",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
    capturePicture.draw(new Canvas(bitmapCitizen));

    return bitmapCitizen;
}

But Problem is, This can print only visible part of WebView.

How can I print the whole WebView?

Draw the DecorView object of the current window, and then draw the Bitmap object.

And you can do like this.

Before doing it ,you can do this.

    WebSettings webSettings = webView.getSettings();
    webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    webSettings.setSupportZoom(true); 
    webView.requestFocusFromTouch();
    webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
            view.loadUrl(url);
            return true;
        }
    });
    webView.loadUrl("your url");

And check version.

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    checkSdkVersion();
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_webview_capture);
}

// check version
private void checkSdkVersion() {
    if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>=Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
        WebView.enableSlowWholeDocumentDraw();
    }
}

Add permission in your manifest.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

Way 1

private void getScreenshot() {
    float scale = webView.getScale();
    int webViewHeight = (int) (webView.getContentHeight() * scale + 0.5);
    Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(webView.getWidth(), webViewHeight, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
    webView.draw(canvas);
    // save to the File
    try {
        String fileName = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + "/webview_capture1.jpg";
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(fileName);
        // Save
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 70, fos);
        fos.close();
        Toast.makeText(WebviewFromDraw.this, "Screenshot OK", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        bitmap.recycle();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.getMessage();
    }
}

Way 2 use webView.getDrawingCache();

private void getScreenshot() {

    bitmap = webView.getDrawingCache();
    try {
        String fileName = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()+"/webview_capture2.jpg";
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(fileName);
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 70, fos);
        fos.close();
        Toast.makeText(WebviewFromDrawCache.this, "Screenshot OK", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e("TAG", e.getMessage());
    }
}

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    //recycle
    if(bitmap!=null) {
        bitmap.recycle();
    }
}

Way 3 the same to yours,it works well in my device.

private void getScreenshot() {
    Picture picture = webView.capturePicture();
    int width = picture.getWidth();
    int height = picture.getHeight();
    if (width > 0 && height > 0) {
        Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
        Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
        picture.draw(canvas);
        try {
            String fileName = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()+"/webview_capture3.jpg";
            FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(fileName);
            bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 70, fos);
            fos.close();
            Toast.makeText(WebviewFromCapture.this, "Screenshot ok", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            bitmap.recycle();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e(TAG, e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Now my method is also working, No need to store the file in SD card. I just add `if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>=Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) { WebView.enableSlowWholeDocumentDraw(); }` in my code, and my code is working fine. Thanks for the help. — Chirag Savsani, Sep 06 '17 at 08:58
