Convert SVG to XAML on Android via Java
Transform SVG to XAML within your Android Applications without using Microsoft® PowerPoint or Adobe® Acrobat Reader
You can integrate SVG to XAML conversion feature inside your Android applications by using two simple steps. In the first step you can export SVG to PPTX by using Aspose.PDF for Android via Java . After that, by using Aspose.Slides for Android via Java , you can convert PPTX to XAML. Both APIs come under Aspose.Total for Android via Java package.
Android API to Export SVG to XAML
- Open SVG file using Document class
- Convert SVG to PPTX by using save method
- Load PPTX document by using Presentation class
- Save the document to XAML format using
save
method and set
Xamlas SaveFormat
Get Started with Java File Format APIs
You can easily use Aspose.Total for Android via Java directly from Maven and install Aspose.PDF for Android via Java and Aspose.Slides for Android via Java in your applications.
Alternatively, you can get a ZIP file from downloads .
// load SVG file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.svg");
// save SVG as PPTX format
document.save("PptxOutput.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a PPTX file
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("PptxOutput.pptx");
// save the presentation as Xaml format
presentation.save("output.xaml", SaveFormat.Xaml);
Open Password Protected SVG File in Android Apps
While loading SVG file format, your document might be password protected. Aspose.PDF for Android via Java allows you open encrypted documents as well. In order to open the encrypted file, you can initialize new instance of the Document class and pass filename and password as arguments.
// open SVG document
Document doc = new Document("input.svg", "Your@Password");
// save SVG as PPTX format
document.save("PptxOutput.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
Create Thumbnail Image of XAML File in Android Applications
After converting SVG to XAML, you can also create thumbnail images of your output document. By using rich in feature Aspose.Slides for Android via Java you can generate thumbnail images of the slides by creating and instance of the Presentation class. After that, you can obtain the reference of any desired slide by using its ID or index and get the thumbnail image of the referenced slide on a specified scale.
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a XAML file
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("output.xaml");
// access the first slide
ISlide sld = pres.getSlides().get_Item(0);
// create a full scale image
BufferedImage image = sld.getThumbnail(1f, 1f);
// save the image to disk in PNG format
ImageIO.write(image, "PNG", new java.io.File("Thumbnail_out.png"));

What is SVG File Format?
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a versatile and increasingly popular image format that offers several benefits for web designers and developers. Unlike other image formats, SVG uses mathematical equations instead of pixels to create smooth and scalable graphics, making it ideal for creating images that need to be displayed at different sizes and resolutions without losing quality.
One of the key advantages of SVG is that it is lightweight and fast loading, which is important for web-based applications that need to deliver a fast and seamless user experience. Since SVG files are vector-based, they are much smaller in size compared to other image formats, which means that they load faster and consume less bandwidth. This makes SVG particularly suitable for mobile devices and situations where bandwidth is limited.
Additionally, SVG offers a high level of interactivity and animation, making it ideal for creating dynamic user interfaces and engaging web experiences. SVG files can be easily animated using CSS or JavaScript, enabling designers and developers to create interactive graphics that respond to user input and system events. This is particularly useful for creating immersive web experiences, such as games, data visualizations, and e-learning applications.
Moreover, SVG files are editable using various software tools, allowing designers to modify and customize the graphics as needed. This flexibility enables quick iterations and easy collaboration between designers and developers.
Furthermore, SVG is compatible with all modern web browsers, making it widely supported across different platforms and devices. It also integrates well with other web technologies, such as HTML and CSS, enabling seamless integration with existing web projects.
What is XAML File Format?
XAML (Extensible Application Markup Language) is an XML-based language developed by Microsoft for initializing objects and defining structured values. It is extensively used in Microsoft’s WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) technology for designing and building advanced user interfaces.
With XAML, it is possible to create a wide range of objects, including user interface elements such as buttons, text boxes, and media elements. Additionally, non-user interface objects such as brushes and geometries can also be defined using XAML.
Typically, XAML is compiled into a binary format that can be executed by a XAML processor. The XAML processor can be a standalone application like Microsoft’s Expression Blend tool or integrated into another application such as Microsoft’s Visual Studio IDE. When used in conjunction with WPF, XAML files are commonly compiled into a binary format known as BAML (Binary Application Markup Language). BAML is a more efficient format for storing and processing XAML-based user interface elements.
While XAML files are often compiled into binary formats, they can also be stored in a text-based format using XML (Extensible Markup Language). XML-based XAML files can be edited using any text editor due to the flexibility of XML. However, it is important to note that XML-based XAML files tend to be larger in size and may take longer to process compared to their binary counterparts.
