Convert Text To Image File On Android

I have a text document (.txt). I want to convert it to an image (.png or .jpg). For example, black text on white background. How can I do that programmatically?

Solution 1:

I think the proper way for multi-line text is this:

Stringtext="This \nis \nmultiline";

finalRectbounds=newRect();
TextPainttextPaint=newTextPaint() {
    {
        setColor(Color.WHITE);
        setTextAlign(Paint.Align.LEFT);
        setTextSize(20f);
        setAntiAlias(true);
    }
};
textPaint.getTextBounds(text, 0, text.length(), bounds);
StaticLayoutmTextLayout=newStaticLayout(text, textPaint,
            bounds.width(), Alignment.ALIGN_NORMAL, 1.0f, 0.0f, false);
intmaxWidth= -1;
for (inti=0; i < mTextLayout.getLineCount(); i++) {
    if (maxWidth < mTextLayout.getLineWidth(i)) {
        maxWidth = (int) mTextLayout.getLineWidth(i);
    }
}
finalBitmapbmp= Bitmap.createBitmap(maxWidth , mTextLayout.getHeight(),
            Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
bmp.eraseColor(Color.BLACK);// just adding black backgroundfinalCanvascanvas=newCanvas(bmp);
mTextLayout.draw(canvas);
FileOutputStreamstream=newFileOutputStream(...); //create your FileOutputStream here
bmp.compress(CompressFormat.PNG, 85, stream);
bmp.recycle();
stream.close();

Solution 2:

this (untested) code should get you on the right track.

voidfoo(final String text)throws IOException{
    finalPainttextPaint=newPaint() {
        {
            setColor(Color.WHITE);
            setTextAlign(Paint.Align.LEFT);
            setTextSize(20f);
            setAntiAlias(true);
        }
    };
    finalRectbounds=newRect();
    textPaint.getTextBounds(text, 0, text.length(), bounds);

    finalBitmapbmp= Bitmap.createBitmap(bounds.width(), bounds.height(), Bitmap.Config.RGB_565); //use ARGB_8888 for better qualityfinalCanvascanvas=newCanvas(bmp);
    canvas.drawText(text, 0, 20f, textPaint);
    FileOutputStreamstream=newFileOutputStream(...); //create your FileOutputStream here
    bmp.compress(CompressFormat.PNG, 85, stream);
    bmp.recycle();
    stream.close();
}

This is what you need:

http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.xmlgraphics/xmlgraphics-commons/1.3.1

I can provide you sample code if you want.

Edit: simple example: package v13;

import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;

import javax.swing.JFileChooser;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;

import org.apache.xmlgraphics.image.codec.png.PNGImageEncoder;

publicclassDeneme {
    publicstaticvoidmain(String[]args){
        JFramejf=newJFrame();
        jf.setVisible(true);

        JPaneljp=newJPanel();
        jf.add(jp); 
        JLabeljl=newJLabel("trial text");
        jf.add(jl);
        jf.setSize(300, 200);

        JFileChooserjfc=newJFileChooser();
        inttemp= jfc.showSaveDialog(jfc);
        if (temp == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
            System.out.println(jfc.getSelectedFile());
            ComponentmyComponent= jf;
            Dimensionsize= myComponent.getSize();
            BufferedImagemyImage=newBufferedImage(size.width,
                    size.height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
            Graphics2Dg2= myImage.createGraphics();
            myComponent.paint(g2);
            try {
                OutputStreamout=newFileOutputStream(jfc
                        .getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath()
                        + ".png");
                PNGImageEncoderencoder=newPNGImageEncoder(out, null);
                encoder.encode(myImage);
                out.close();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                System.out.println(e);
            }
        }
       }
    }
