Thanks Klaus, however I tried to run it android phone it does not run.

What specific challenges or limitations did you encounter when attempting to connect and print via Bluetooth from LiveCode on Android?

Hi brattina01,

I was planning to create an Android app using LiveCode. Please see the sample design.


The app will search for a device, connect to my Bluetooth printer, and then test a print sample.

However, I cannot find a tutorial or forum for this to guide me.

Not sure this will work at all!?
From the dictionary about "print":

...
Cross-platform note: ...
On mobile platforms, the print command only works in the context of an explicit open printing to pdf command.

Some of my POS projects use JNI for Bluetooth printer access. However, you need to understand how data is formatted when sent over Bluetooth. The easiest way is to use Cordova, and you can still use LiveCode, but you'll need to use the standalone Web LiveCode.
