loading Spire.pdf in my Android Studio Project

Tue Jul 23, 2019 3:15 pm

I was thinking that I am not a greenhorn in Android programming anymore but this question, makes me feel like one again:

I am writing an app In Android Studio and would like to add Spire.PDF to my project to create PDF documents... but I can't seem to get it working...

From the downloads: I downloaded Spire.Pdf-FE_2.6.3... so where do I add the files into... other libraries needs to be added to the build.app file...

Please assist me

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for contacting.
Since we don't have a testing environment to create the Android Studio project, we need more time to create the testing environment. However, there is a tutorial (Android Studio: Add jar as library) that might help you firstly. Please refer to it and have a try.

Sincerely,

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply. According to the previous tutorial, I fount that it could reference our Spire.PDF.jar into an Android Studio project. Here, I attached some screenshots for your reference. If there is any question, welcome to write back.

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback.
There is a tutorial may help you. Besides, What is the version of Android Studio did you use? I downloaded it from this URL and did previous test.

Sincerely,
