Hello Everyone,

I am trying to convert the following java code to B4A

Code: Copy 
PrintTask printTask = new PrintTask();
printTask.setPrintBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), R.drawable.printer));
Printer.getInstance().startPrint(printTask, new PrinterCallback() {

Code: Copy 
// PrinterTask.Java

package com.pos.device.printer;

import android.graphics.Bitmap;

public class PrintTask {
  public int mStep;
 
  public Bitmap mBitmap;
 
  public PrintTask() {
    throw new RuntimeException();
  }
 
  public int getGray() {
    throw new RuntimeException();
  }
 
  public void setGray(int gray) {
    throw new RuntimeException();
  }
 
  public void addFeedPaper(int step) {
    throw new RuntimeException();
  }
 
  public void setPrintCanvas(PrintCanvas printCanvas) {
    throw new RuntimeException();
  }
 
  public void setPrintBitmap(Bitmap origBitmap) {
    throw new RuntimeException();
  }

  public void setPrintBuffer(byte[] buffer) {
    throw new RuntimeException();
  }
}

B4X: Copy 
    Dim bitmap As B4XBitmap = TextToBitmap("Text to Bitmap", 20, xui.Color_Black, "CENTER")
    Dim jo As JavaObject
    Try
        jo = jo.InitializeNewInstance("com.pos.device.printer.PrintTask",Null)
        jo.RunMethod("setPrintBitmap", Array As Object(bitmap))
    Catch
        Log(LastException)
    End Try

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Where do you get this code from?

It is not inside the example project you recently uploaded.
There is no printtask involved in the example.

please check line 75 of DevicePrinter.java

Code: Copy 
PrintCanvas canvas = buildCanvas(t);

        PrintTask task = new PrintTask();
        task.setGray(130);
        task.setPrintCanvas(canvas);

        int result = printData(task, ui);
        Log.e(TAG, "print finish,the result=" + result);
        return result == 0;

Where did you find this printdemo? do you have the documentation for the api of the SDK？

unfortunately there is no documentation. The manufacturer gave us the printdemo as an example.
It works when installed (Android Studio)

My understanding from the Java project,
first, the demo entry point is
\PrinterDemo\app\src\main\java\com\newpos\printDemo\MainActivity.java
which utilize the class from a subdirectory \PrinterDemo\app\src\main\java\com\newpos\printDemo\printer
The printer directory contains the following classes:
RecipetPrinter.java
TransLog.java
thus, the code in MainActivity contains the following line:
Code: Copy 
import com.newpos.printDemo.printer.RecipetPrinter;
import com.newpos.printDemo.printer.TransLog;
import com.newpos.printlib.ui.IPrinterUI;
In order for the demo to work, you also need to "wrap" or convert the functions inside them using JavaObject in B4X. Unless you compile them as jars and import using #AdditionalJars.

Then the demo project also required the code from com.newpos.printlib.* class.
The source code is inside
\PrinterDemo\printLib\src\main\java\com\newpos\printlib
Inside the printlib directory, there are the following:
print
ui
StringTools.java

Inside \PrinterDemo\printLib\src\main\java\com\newpos\printlib\print, there are the following classes:
DevicePrinter.java
FontSize.java
PrinterTextView.java
PrintManager.java
TicketFontSize.java

If we want to tackle the DevicePrinter.java, we can see the source is depends on the following classes:
Code: Copy 
import com.newpos.printlib.ui.IPrinterUI;
import com.pos.device.printer.PrintCanvas;
import com.pos.device.printer.PrintTask;
import com.pos.device.printer.Printer;

And the line 2 to 4 are depending on the sdk.jar

So my suggestion is you need to convert all the Java classes to B4X first or compile them as jars then only you can make the demo works.
The classes are depending on another classes that they can't work alone.

The sdk.jar is only for the development , you need to add uses-library section to manifest for runtime environment
B4X: Copy 
AddApplicationText(<uses-library android:name="com.pos.device" />)
