Download image using canvas

When dealing with issues related to capturing and downloading content in mobile views using `html2canvas`, there can be various factors that affect the rendering and capturing of the content. Here are a few things you can try to improve compatibility in mobile views: Download QR Code as Image

1. **Viewport Meta Tag:**
   Ensure that you have a proper viewport meta tag in the head of your HTML. This tag helps in controlling the viewport properties and scaling on mobile devices. For example:

   ```html
   <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
   ```

2. **Wait for QR Code Generation:**
   If you're dynamically generating a QR code, make sure to wait for it to be fully generated before triggering the download. You can use promises or callbacks to ensure the QR code generation is completed.

3. **Adjust Canvas Size:**
   Experiment with adjusting the canvas size to better fit the content on mobile devices. You can set the canvas size explicitly using `html2canvas` options:

   ```javascript
   html2canvas(element, {
     width: window.innerWidth, // or specify a fixed width
     height: window.innerHeight, // or specify a fixed height
   }).then(function(canvas) {
     // ...
   });
   ```

4. **Testing on Real Devices:**
   Always test your application on real devices to catch any specific issues related to mobile rendering and interactions.

5. **Handling Asynchronous Operations:**
   Make sure to handle asynchronous operations properly. If your QR code generation or other content-related actions are asynchronous, ensure that they complete before capturing and downloading.

Here's a slightly modified example that includes adjustments for viewport and canvas size:

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
  <title>Download QR Code as Image</title>
  <!-- Include html2canvas and the QR code generation library -->
  <script src="https://html2canvas.hertzen.com/dist/html2canvas.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/ehtesh/qrcodejs/gh-pages/qrcode.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>

<!-- Container for the QR code -->
<div id="qrcode-container"></div>

<!-- Button to trigger the download -->
<button onclick="downloadQRCode()">Download QR Code</button>

<script>
function generateQRCode() {
  // Create a new instance of QRCode
  var qrcode = new QRCode(document.getElementById("qrcode-container"), {
    width: 100,
    height: 100
  });

  // Set the content for the QR code (replace with your content)
  qrcode.makeCode("Your QR Code Content");
}

function downloadQRCode() {
  // Generate the QR code dynamically before capturing
  generateQRCode();

  // Get the div containing the QR code
  var element = document.getElementById("qrcode-container");

  // Use html2canvas to capture the content as an image
  html2canvas(element, {
    width: window.innerWidth, // Adjust as needed
    height: window.innerHeight, // Adjust as needed
  }).then(function(canvas) {
    // Convert the canvas to a data URL
    var imgData = canvas.toDataURL('image/png');

    // Create a temporary link and trigger a download
    var link = document.createElement('a');
    link.href = imgData;
    link.download = 'qrcode.png';
    link.click();
  });
}
</script>

</body>
</html>
```

Remember to adapt the code according to your specific requirements and adjust the canvas size based on your design. If issues persist, consider checking the browser's developer tools for any error messages or warnings that might provide additional insights.
