78.2 Printing Dynamic HTML Content

The first stage of this tutorial is to add code to the project to create some HTML content and send it to the Printing framework in the form of a print job.

Begin by locating the MainActivity.java file (located in the Project tool window under app -> java -> com.ebookfrenzy.htmlprint) and loading it into the editing panel. Once loaded, modify the code so that it reads as outlined in the following listing:

package com.ebookfrenzy.htmlprint;

 

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.webkit.WebView;

import android.webkit.WebViewClient;

import android.webkit.WebResourceRequest;

import android.print.PrintAttributes;

import android.print.PrintDocumentAdapter;

import android.print.PrintManager;

import android.content.Context;

 

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

 

   private WebView myWebView;
