Use Slides on Android
Overview
Add Aspose.Slides for Android via Java to an Android project to work with presentation files through its local API. Use the Android-specific documentation for installation and examples, including the platform requirements that apply to the application.
Usage example
This example uses Aspose.Slides for Android via Java. Add the Android product to your app using its installation instructions. Save this complete helper class as CreatePresentation.java and call its save method with your app’s Context from the presentation-processing code. It creates a slide with a text box and writes hello.pptx in app-private internal storage.
import android.content.Context;
import com.aspose.slides.IAutoShape;
import com.aspose.slides.ISlide;
import com.aspose.slides.Presentation;
import com.aspose.slides.SaveFormat;
import com.aspose.slides.ShapeType;
import java.io.File;
public class CreatePresentation {
public static void save(Context context) {
File output = new File(context.getFilesDir(), "hello.pptx");
Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
try {
ISlide slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0);
IAutoShape title = slide.getShapes().addAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 50, 50, 400, 100);
title.getTextFrame().setText("Hello from Android");
presentation.save(output.getAbsolutePath(), SaveFormat.Pptx);
} finally {
presentation.dispose();
}
}
}
No input file or shared-storage permission is needed for this destination. The coordinates and dimensions are in points. Evaluation output carries a watermark. Package and run the helper as part of an Android app rather than as a desktop Java program.
FAQ
Should I follow the desktop Java setup instructions?
Use the Android via Java instructions. The presentation tasks are similar, but packaging and platform setup belong to the Android product.
Where can an Android app save the generated presentation?
The example uses app-private internal storage, which is available through the app Context and does not require a shared-storage permission. To let another app or a user export the file, use the appropriate Android sharing or document-access workflow separately.
How can I load a presentation packaged as an Android application asset?
Open the asset through the app’s asset manager, pass the resulting input stream to the presentation constructor and close the stream when loading is finished. Follow the Android-specific guides for packaging the product and integrating it with the app lifecycle.
