Render MD to GIF on Android via Java
Convert MD to GIF in mobile apps without installing any software
Why to Convert MD to GIF?
The MD (Markdown) format is a lightweight markup language that is used to format plain text documents. It is commonly used for writing blog posts, documentation, and other text-based content. On the other hand, GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is an image format that is used to display images on the web. Converting MD to GIF can be useful for displaying text-based content in a visually appealing way.
How Aspose.Total Helps for MD to GIF Conversion?
Aspose.Total for Android Java is a comprehensive suite of APIs that can be used to integrate MD to GIF conversion feature in mobile apps. The package includes two APIs that can be used for this purpose. The first API is Aspose.PDF for Android via Java, which can be used to convert MD file to DOC. The second API is Aspose.Words for Android Java, which can be used to render DOC to GIF. By using these two APIs, developers can easily integrate MD to GIF conversion feature in their mobile apps.
Convert MD to GIF on Android via Java
Get Started with Android via Java APIs
You can easily use Aspose.Total for Android via Java directly from Maven and install Aspose.PDF for Android via Java and Aspose.Words for Android via Java in your applications.
Alternatively, you can get a ZIP file from downloads .
// load MD file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.md");
// save MD as a DOC
document.save("DocOutput.doc", SaveFormat.DOC);
// load DOC with an instance of Document
Document outputDocument = new com.aspose.words.Document("DocOutput.doc");
// call save method while passing SaveFormat.GIF
outputDocument.save("output.gif", SaveFormat.GIF);
Get MD File Information on Android via Java
Before converting MD to GIF, you might need information about the document including author, creation date, keywords, modify date, subject, and title. This information is helpful for the decision making for the conversion process. Using the powerful Aspose.PDF for Android via Java API, you can get all of it. To get file-specific information about a MD file, first get the DocumentInfo object using getInfo method. Once the DocumentInfo object is retrieved, you can get the values of the individual properties.
// load MD document
Document doc = new Document("template.md");
// get document information
DocumentInfo docInfo = doc.getInfo();
// show document information
System.out.println("Author: " + docInfo.getAuthor());
System.out.println("Creation Date: " + docInfo.getCreationDate());
System.out.println("Keywords: " + docInfo.getKeywords());
System.out.println("Modify Date: " + docInfo.getModDate());
System.out.println("Subject: " + docInfo.getSubject());
System.out.println("Title: " + docInfo.getTitle());
Insert Endnotes in GIF Document in Android Apps
Apart from document conversion, you can also add a bunch of other features inside your Android Applications using Aspose.Words for Android via Java API. One of that feature is inserting endnotes and numbering in GIF document. If you want to insert a footnote or an endnote in a GIF document, please use DocumentBuilder.InsertFootnote method. This method inserts a footnote or endnote into the document. EndnoteOptions and FootnoteOptions classes represent numbering options for footnote and endnote.
// load document
Document doc = new Document("input.DOC");
// initialize document builder
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// add text in it
builder.write("Some text");
// insert footnote
builder.insertFootnote(FootnoteType.ENDNOTE, "Endnote text.");
// initialize endnote options
EndnoteOptions option = doc.getEndnoteOptions();
// set restart rule
option.setRestartRule(FootnoteNumberingRule.RESTART_PAGE);
// set position
option.setPosition(EndnotePosition.END_OF_SECTION);
// save the document to disk.
doc.save("output.gif", SaveFormat.GIF);
