method and set
Pptas 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 XML file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.xml");
// save XML 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 Ppt format
presentation.save("output.ppt", SaveFormat.Ppt);
Open Password Protected XML File in Android Apps
While loading XML 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 XML document
Document doc = new Document("input.xml", "Your@Password");
// save XML as PPTX format
document.save("PptxOutput.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
Create Thumbnail Image of POWERPOINT File in Android Applications
After converting XML to POWERPOINT, 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 POWERPOINT file
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("output.powerpoint");
// 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 XML File Format?
XML, which stands for Extensible Markup Language, is a file format that shares similarities with HTML but has a different purpose and structure. The primary objective of XML is to store and transport data in a self-describing and platform-independent manner. It provides a set of rules for defining custom tags that allow users to create their own markup languages specific to their needs.
The key advantage of XML is its ability to represent data in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. This makes it suitable for creating data protocols and exchanging structured information over networks such as the World Wide Web (WWW). XML-based file formats, such as Microsoft Open XML, LibreOffice OpenDocument, XHTML, and SVG, utilize XML to define the structure and content of their documents.
The extensibility of XML is denoted by the “X” in its name, which implies that the language can be expanded to include new tags and elements as required. This flexibility allows XML to adapt to diverse data structures and requirements, making it widely adopted in various industries and domains.
However, one drawback of XML is its verbosity. XML files can be relatively large due to the inclusion of markup tags and repetitive structure. This can make XML documents more challenging to read and process, especially when dealing with large datasets. Care must be taken to manage the markup tags effectively to avoid errors or inconsistencies in the data.
What is POWERPOINT File Format?
PowerPoint is a widely used presentation software that offers various file formats to save and share presentations. Understanding the different file formats in PowerPoint is essential for compatibility, sharing, and maintaining the visual integrity of presentations.
The default file format in PowerPoint is PPT (PowerPoint Presentation). PPT files are compatible with older versions of PowerPoint but may have limitations in terms of compatibility with other software applications. However, with newer versions, the PPTX (PowerPoint Open XML Presentation) format has become more prevalent. PPTX offers several advantages, including smaller file sizes, improved data recovery, and enhanced compatibility with other programs.
In addition to PPT and PPTX, PowerPoint supports other file formats like PDF (Portable Document Format). PDF files are widely used for sharing and publishing presentations because they preserve the formatting, layout, and graphics of the original slides, ensuring consistent viewing across different devices and platforms.
PowerPoint also allows saving presentations in formats like POT (PowerPoint Template) and POTX (PowerPoint Open XML Template). These formats serve as templates for creating new presentations with predefined styles, layouts, and designs.
For compatibility with other software applications, PowerPoint supports formats like ODP (OpenDocument Presentation) and HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). ODP files are open-source and can be used with software like LibreOffice and Google Slides. HTML files are web-compatible, allowing presentations to be displayed in web browsers.
