Livecode (Andriod) - Bluetooth Printer Connection

Dear All,

Good day.

I am currently exploring tutorials or resources on establishing a Bluetooth connection between an Android phone and a portable printer using LiveCode. Specifically, I would like to test whether LiveCode can successfully print to my portable printer (please refer to the attached image for reference).

If anyone has experience with this or could recommend relevant plugins, sample code, or step-by-step guides, I would greatly appreciate your assistance.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Hi lemodizon,

sorry for chiming in a bit late...

According to the dictionary we cannot print directly (to any attached printer) on mobile:
print:
...
On mobile platforms, the print command only works in the context of an explicit open printing to pdf command.
...
So it sounds like we can only create a PDF and I'm afraid you are out of luck.

Best

Klaus

Hi Klaus,

Thanks for your reply. I hope LiveCode can add this feature in the next release.
