When the “Print Document” button is touched by the user, the printDocument() onClick event handler method will be called.

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"
