Printing to bluetooth printer with Android device

At this point I just want someone to write an example for me and pay them for this. Let me know if interested.

Thanks

Is anyone interested in this project? I still cannot find anyone to do this for me. If so please contact me.

Thanks,

Warren

Is there something special about printing to a bluetooth printer that would require something other than telling iOS to print to whatever printer it supports?  Is this an Android project or an iOS project?   We did a tutorial a while back on using Enterprise to print to iOS printers using the system’s printing features.  I don’t see how the printer being connected matters.

Actually I do not know as far as printing to a bluetooth printer. But this is for an Android project. I did see the tutorial for the iOS printing where you printed an image. I would like to print text with an Android app. Does anyone have any ideas? I will pay for a working result.

Thanks,

If you want an Android native sample I could give it a go but I don’t have a bluetooth printer for testing? I guess you do?

You can PM me with what you are offering so I can consider it.

This may be more difficult than one might think:

Looks like you have to use device specific SDK’s as Android (at least until 4.4) doesn’t support generic printing.

Rob

So if I need to write an Android mobile app do you suggest I have someone write it with the Android SDK rather than Corona? I can do everything in Corona right now except for the printing.

The Android version on this Motorola TC-55 device is 4.1.2 that will be used.

Yes and no.  You will need either Corona Enterprise or Corona Cards for Android.  Both allow you to use 3rd party SDK’s like your printer driver in native land while keeping most of your app in Corona Land.  There will need to be some bridging to get between the two.

Okay thanks. I do not have enterprise at the moment but would purchase it if I can print with it. I’ll have to get the exact printer but I think it is a Zebra printer. I am sure they have an SDK for their printers for Android. With that being said if I have the SDK is anyone here willing to code this for me for a fee?

Thanks,

Warren

I will be getting the device in a few days and I was told I can update the Android version to support the easier printing. So has anyone does this yet? Do I still need to do anything specific for the bluetooth printing for Android? I just need to print some text to a Zebra printer and looking for the easiest solution. I’m looking for someone to pay to do this.

Thanks

Warren

I might be able to squeeze this in. Send me a mail and we can discuss: euphoriacorona (at) gmail.com

I am still looking for someone to write a plugin or a way I can print from the android to the Zebra printer. Please contact me if you can do this.

Thanks,

Warren

Hi Warren,

Did you manage to get it to print ?

I am looking at how to print thru bluetooth & AirPrint on iOS.
