How to convert any format(.txt, .Doc) file into epub file in android application


I am developing an application in which I have to read or write any eBook.

In android so many libraries available for reading any eBook, but for writing i didn't find any thing.

For reading any eBook file must be in .epub format.

I have an editor in which i am entering some text and after saving that file in any format how can i convert that file into .epub file.

Thanks in advance.


Solution

  • In android Java is developer language for create APP, use Epublib (lib in java)

    Read "doc file" with poi

    Create epub file:

    package nl.siegmann.epublib.examples;
    
    import java.io.InputStream;
    import java.io.FileOutputStream;
    
    import nl.siegmann.epublib.domain.Author;
    import nl.siegmann.epublib.domain.Book;
    import nl.siegmann.epublib.domain.Metadata;
    import nl.siegmann.epublib.domain.Resource;
    import nl.siegmann.epublib.domain.TOCReference;
    
    import nl.siegmann.epublib.epub.EpubWriter;
    
    public class Translator {
      private static InputStream getResource( String path ) {
        return Translator.class.getResourceAsStream( path );
      }
    
      private static Resource getResource( String path, String href ) {
        return new Resource( getResource( path ), href );
      }
    
      public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
          // Create new Book
          Book book = new Book();
          Metadata metadata = book.getMetadata();
    
          // Set the title
          metadata.addTitle("Epublib test book 1");
    
          // Add an Author
          metadata.addAuthor(new Author("Joe", "Tester"));
    
          // Set cover image
          book.setCoverImage(
            getResource("/book1/test_cover.png", "cover.png") );
    
          // Add Chapter 1
          book.addSection("Introduction",
            getResource("/book1/chapter1.html", "chapter1.html") );
    
          // Add css file
          book.getResources().add(
            getResource("/book1/book1.css", "book1.css") );
    
          // Add Chapter 2
          TOCReference chapter2 = book.addSection( "Second Chapter",
            getResource("/book1/chapter2.html", "chapter2.html") );
    
          // Add image used by Chapter 2
          book.getResources().add(
            getResource("/book1/flowers_320x240.jpg", "flowers.jpg"));
    
          // Add Chapter2, Section 1
          book.addSection(chapter2, "Chapter 2, section 1",
            getResource("/book1/chapter2_1.html", "chapter2_1.html"));
    
          // Add Chapter 3
          book.addSection("Conclusion",
            getResource("/book1/chapter3.html", "chapter3.html"));
    
          // Create EpubWriter
          EpubWriter epubWriter = new EpubWriter();
    
          // Write the Book as Epub
          epubWriter.write(book, new FileOutputStream("test1_book1.epub"));
        } catch (Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
        }
      }
    }
