Convert Listview Items into a single Bitmap Image

Question

Referenced to this topic: Android get screenshot of all ListView items

I want to do something like that but i have Custom Adapter and it's throw me NullPointerException Error at this code:

childView.measure(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(_listView.getWidth(),    MeasureSpec.EXACTLY),MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));

My Custom Adapter:

public class InvoiceListAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

  ArrayList<Object> _itemList;
  public Activity _context;
  public LayoutInflater _inflater;
  BarCodeGenerator Generator = new BarCodeGenerator();


  public InvoiceListAdapter(Activity context,ArrayList<Object> itemList)
  {
      super();
      this._context=context;
      this._itemList=itemList;
      this._inflater=(LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

  }
@Override
public int getCount() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return _itemList.size();
}

@Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return _itemList.get(position);
}

@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return 0;
}

public static class ViewHolder
{
 TextView ProductName;
 TextView Qnt;
 ImageView Barcode;
 TextView BarcodeFormat;
 Button Del;

}



@Override
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

    ViewHolder holder;
     if(convertView==null)
        {
            holder = new ViewHolder();
            convertView = _inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_row_view, null);


            holder.ProductName = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.txt_CRow_ProdName);
            holder.Qnt = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.txt_CRow_Qnt);
            holder.Del = (Button) convertView.findViewById(R.id.btn_CRow_Delete);
            holder.Barcode = (ImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.Img_CRow_Barcode);
            /*-----------------------------Deleting Item with Button--------------------*/
            holder.Del.setTag(holder);


            convertView.setTag(holder);
        }
        else
        {
            holder=(ViewHolder)convertView.getTag();
        }

        AnItem Item = (AnItem) _itemList.get(position);

        holder.ProductName.setText(Item.getProductName());
        holder.Qnt.setText(Item.getQnt());
        holder.Barcode.setImageBitmap(Generator.Generate(Item.getProductName(), BarcodeFormat.valueOf(Item.getBarcode() ),500,200 ) ); 

        holder.Del.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Toast.makeText(_context,"Item Deleted!: "+position, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                _itemList.remove(position);  
                notifyDataSetChanged();

                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            }
        });

        return convertView;


}

Thanks for your Help.

Answer 1

You can get the bitmap from any view like this :

public static Bitmap getBitmapFromView(View view) {
    Bitmap returnedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(view.getWidth(), view.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(returnedBitmap);
    Drawable bgDrawable = view.getBackground();
    if (bgDrawable != null)
        bgDrawable.draw(canvas);
    else
        canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
    view.draw(canvas);
    return returnedBitmap;
}

Answer 2

try this and adapt to your code. Hope this help....

public static Bitmap getWholeListViewItemsToBitmap() {

ListView listview    = MyActivity.mFocusedListView;
ListAdapter adapter  = listview.getAdapter(); 
int itemscount       = adapter.getCount();
int allitemsheight   = 0;
List<Bitmap> bmps    = new ArrayList<Bitmap>();

for (int i = 0; i < itemscount; i++) {

    View childView      = adapter.getView(i, null, listview);
    childView.measure(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(listview.getWidth(), MeasureSpec.EXACTLY), 
            MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));

    childView.layout(0, 0, childView.getMeasuredWidth(), childView.getMeasuredHeight());
    childView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
    childView.buildDrawingCache();
    bmps.add(childView.getDrawingCache());
    allitemsheight+=childView.getMeasuredHeight();
}

Bitmap bigbitmap    = Bitmap.createBitmap(listview.getMeasuredWidth(), allitemsheight, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas bigcanvas    = new Canvas(bigbitmap);

Paint paint = new Paint();
int iHeight = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < bmps.size(); i++) {
    Bitmap bmp = bmps.get(i);
    bigcanvas.drawBitmap(bmp, 0, iHeight, paint);
    iHeight+=bmp.getHeight();

    bmp.recycle();
    bmp=null;
}


return bigbitmap;
}
