Not working after updating view problematically

Actually, I tried to regenerate your issue but can't but I can recommend you my way to update the view programmatically before print.

Step 1: First create an inflated view object from your XML. For example -
View content = inflater.inflate(R.layout.layout_myl, null);

Step 2: Suppose, you wanna update a TextView inside the content object ( That means a TextView inside layout_my.xml)
then you make an instance of that object and update the content of that TextView. For example -
TextView textView = content.findViewById(R.id.tv_text);
textView.setText("Updated content");

Step 3: Finally follow my step, how to print pdf from java view instance . My full example is -

                View content = inflater.inflate(R.layout.layout_print, null);
                TextView textView = content.findViewById(R.id.tv_text);
                textView.setText("Updated content");

                  PdfGenerator.getBuilder()
                        .setContext(MainActivity.this)
                        .fromViewSource()
                        .fromView(content)
                        .setDefaultPageSize(PdfGenerator.PageSize.A4)
                        .setFileName("TestPDF")
                        .setFolderName("Test-PDF-folder")
                        .openPDFafterGeneration(true)
                        .build() 

If you found any problem with this approach then knock me. Thank you.

@Gkemon Thanks for the solution but when I'd updated an Imageview using the same way as you wrote about for other views, It didn't reflected in generated pdf. Here is my code:

View content = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.id_card_print, null);
 TextView textView = content.findViewById(R.id.name);
 TextView textView2 = content.findViewById(R.id.designation);
 TextView textView3 = content.findViewById(R.id.phonenumber);
 ImageView profile = content.findViewById(R.id.profile);


if (sessionManager.getUserDetails()!=null)
{
textView.setText("Name: "+sessionManager.getUserDetails().getName());
textView2.setText(Designation: "+sessionManager.getUserDetails().getDesignation());
textView3.setText("Mobile Number: "+sessionManager.getUserDetails().getMobile_number());
				
//Updating profile (imageview)
Glide.with(context).load(sessionManager.getUserDetails().getProfileImage()).
	placeholder(context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_user)).
	error(context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_user)).into(profile);

}

How can I resolve this?
Thanks for the awesome library !

Hi @maxx2478,You are welcome. If you face any trouble to print docs then you can see my example of How to print an Invoice or Report?
