Capturable

🚀A Jetpack Compose utility library for converting Composable content into Bitmap image 🖼️.
Made with ❤️ for Android Developers and Composers

💡Introduction

In the previous View system, drawing Bitmap Image from View was very straightforward. But that's not the case with Jetpack Compose since it's different in many aspects from previous system. This library helps easy way to achieve the same results.

🚀 Implementation

You can check /app directory which includes example application for demonstration.

Gradle setup

In build.gradle of app module, include this dependency

dependencies {
    implementation "dev.shreyaspatil:capturable:2.1.0"
}

You can find latest version and changelogs in the releases.

Usage

1. Setup the controller

To be able to capture Composable content, you need instance of CaptureController by which you can decide when to capture the content. You can get the instance as follow.

@Composable
fun TicketScreen() {
    val captureController = rememberCaptureController()
}

rememberCaptureController() is a Composable function.

2. Add the content

The component which needs to be captured, a capturable() Modifier should be applied on that @Composable component as follows.

@Composable
fun TicketScreen() {
    val captureController = rememberCaptureController()

    // Composable content to be captured.
    // Here, everything inside below Column will be get captured
    Column(modifier = Modifier.capturable(captureController)) {
        MovieTicketContent(...)
    }
}

3. Capture the content

To capture the content, use CaptureController#captureAsync() as follows.

// Example: Capture the content when button is clicked
val scope = rememberCoroutineScope()
Button(onClick = {
    // Capture content
    scope.launch {
        val bitmapAsync = captureController.captureAsync()
        try {
            val bitmap = bitmapAsync.await()
            // Do something with `bitmap`.
        } catch (error: Throwable) {
            // Error occurred, do something.
        }
    }
}) { ... }

On calling this method, request for capturing the content will be sent and ImageBitmap will be returned asynchronously. This method is safe to be called from Main thread.
