85.8 Starting the Print Job

When the “Print Document” button is touched by the user, the printDocument() onClick event handler method will be called. All that now remains before testing can commence, therefore, is to add this method to the MainActivity.kt file, taking particular care to ensure that it is placed outside of the MyPrintDocumentAdapter class:

.

.

import android.print.PrintManager

import android.view.View

 

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

 

    fun printDocument(view: View) {

        val printManager = this

                .getSystemService(Context.PRINT_SERVICE) as PrintManager

 

        val jobName = this.getString(R.string.app_name) + " Document"
