Android / Guides / Annotation list

Display list of all annotations in document

The AnnotationDialogFragment displays a list of all annotations in a document being viewed by a PDFViewCtrl. The list also contains any comments that have been added to the annotations.

Annotation dialog

Show annotation dialog

To show an annotation dialog fragment in your activity, create a new instance of AnnotationDialogFragment by calling newInstance() and setting the PDFViewCtrl:

BookmarksDialogFragment showBookmarksDialog(FragmentManager fragmentManager, PDFViewCtrl pdfViewCtrl) {
    DialogFragmentTab annotationsDialog = new DialogFragmentTab(
        AnnotationDialogFragment.class,
        BookmarksTabLayout.TAG_TAB_ANNOTATION,
        null,
        "Annotations",
        "Bookmarks Dialog",
        null);
    ArrayList<DialogFragmentTab> dialogFragmentTabs = new ArrayList<>();
    dialogFragmentTabs.add(annotationsDialog);

    BookmarksDialogFragment bookmarksDialog = BookmarksDialogFragment.newInstance();
    bookmarksDialog.setPdfViewCtrl(pdfViewCtrl)
        .setDialogFragmentTabs(dialogFragmentTabs);
    bookmarksDialog.setStyle(DialogFragment.STYLE_NO_TITLE, R.style.PDFTronAppTheme);   
    bookmarksDialog.show(fragmentManager, "bookmarks_dialog");
    return bookmarksDialog;
}

Listener

By calling setAnnotationDialogListener(AnnotationDialogListener), you can set a listener to be notified when an annotation item is clicked, or when document annotations are exported to a PDF doc when users click on the export floating action button.

Read-only

If the document has write access, users can delete existing annotations by long-pressing on the annotation. To specify whether the document is read-only call setReadOnly(boolean).
