I have an arrayList of objects with same attributes. I want create a pdf with one table that have many cells as the length of the list and as many columns as the fields of the object. I stay using the library iTextG, but I succeeded only create a paragraph with title (I took the code on stackOverflow): the code below..



public void createandDisplayPdf() {

Document doc = new Document();

try {
String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/Dir";

File dir = new File(path);
if(!dir.exists())
dir.mkdirs();

File file = new File(dir, "GestioneAccreditati.pdf");
FileOutputStream fOut = new FileOutputStream(file);

PdfWriter.getInstance(doc, fOut);

//open the document
doc.open();

Paragraph p1 = new Paragraph("GESTIONE ACCREDITATI");
//Font paraFont= new Font(0);
p1.setAlignment(Paragraph.ALIGN_CENTER);
//p1.setFont(paraFont);

//add paragraph to document


doc.add(p1);

} catch (DocumentException de) {
Log.e("PDFCreator", "DocumentException:" + de);
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("PDFCreator", "ioException:" + e);
}
finally {
doc.close();
}

viewPdf("GestioneAccreditati.pdf", "Dir");
}

// Method for opening a pdf file
private void viewPdf(String file, String directory) {

File pdfFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + directory + "/" + file);
Uri path = Uri.fromFile(pdfFile);

// Setting the intent for pdf reader
Intent pdfIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
pdfIntent.setDataAndType(path, "application/pdf");
pdfIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);

try {
startActivity(pdfIntent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Can't read pdf file", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
