printing with an Android

Post by tyarmsteadBUSuSfT » Thu Nov 21, 2013 3:00 am

I am converting a iOS app to android and am having problems printing a card. It appears in looking through the dictionary that the print commands only work for iOS. Is that correct?

Thank you and one more question. Is creating a PDF to send as an attachment possible with an Android App?

Looks like I can use snapshot and create an image file which will work.
Thank you
Ty

Hi Ty,

yes, luckily we can always take a snapshot :D

For creating a PDF WITHOUT printing, take a look at the PDF Library:
http://www.quartam.com -> "Products" -> Quartam PDF Library
