Create PDF using iTextG with Table Design

In previous tutorial PDF Creator using iTextG Library we discussed hoe to create PDF using iTextG library.
In this tutorial we will see how to design a PDF in Table format

Before going to this tutorial make sure how to create a PDF using iTextG Library PDF Creator using iTextG Library

 The following sample will give you clear picture to create PDF in Table format

Create a New project
Add dependencies and permissions for Writing Local Storage
Add the to your apps Gradle file:
build.gradle
compile 'com.itextpdf:itextg:5.5.10'

To create a Pdf file, our app will need the some permissions, open your project’s AndroidManifest.xml and add the following permission.

AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>


activity_main.xml




<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center">
<Button
    android:id="@+id/button_create"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Create PDF"/>
</LinearLayout>




Design looks like

Get Phone Number from Contact List - Android Tutorial




























  When you create an application to send sms or an application to make calls, getting a destination number from the contacts list is a common task. In this Android tip, I am going to show the code to fetch a number from the contacts list. Now let me tell you how to achieve the goal. First, you need to create an Intent object for the PICK_ACTION action. To open the contacts list, the table that contains the contacts information must be specified as a parameter of the constructor of the Intent class. You can refer to the table using ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI. Then call the startActivityForResult () method passing the Intent object and request code to open the contacts list.   After a contact is selected from the contacts list, to get the result, you need to override the onActivityResult(int reqCode, int resultCode, Intent data) method of the activity. You can call the getData() method of the data parameter to get the table or uri that contains the selected contact. From the t...
