Android Question Calling PrintBot from b4a

[virpalacios]

Hi, I am trying to print using PrintBot (for printing using WIFI), I already launch it using the Package Manager, however the user has to choose the file for printing ( receipt.txt). Checking at Print Bot WebSite
they have a small Java code to Print a file directly.
I made several tries to rewrite it using B4A however I am missing someting. I appreciate if someone can check it, it will very useful for printing in Indoors environments.

Best Regards

Intent intent = new Intent("net.jsecurity.printbot.action.PRINT");
intent.setDataAndType(uriToPrint, "text/html");
startActivity(intent);

This is equivalent to:

Dim in As Intent
in.Initialize("net.jsecurity.printbot.action.PRINT", uriToPrint)
in.SetType("text/html")
StartActivity(in)

You can build uriToPrint with:
"file://" & File.Combine(..., ...)
