Bluetooth Printer Integration with SAPUI5 Mobile Application

[saketamraotkar]

Hi,

We are developing SAPUI5 Mobile application(Hybrid app), and will be packaged in cordova container to provide native feel.

We wanted to know, how can we configure Hybrid app with bluetooth printer to print reports.

We are using SMP 3.x latest version and planning to target Windows 8.1 tabs.

Your valuable inputs are welcome.

Regards

Saket

Hi Saket,

You could have a look at the printer plugin available with Kapsel plugin - 

Or you are free to add any other Cordova plugin to your project. Ex.http://plugreg.com/plugin/eddysby2000/Cordova-Bluetooth-Printer-Plugin

Hi Midhun,

That was very much helpful.

This API is generic to all printer or how does it recognize the printer.

Pushing little more in detail...

Hi Saket,

Printer plugin is based on AirPrint on iOS and the Android Printing Framework so you have to look at how these works.

Midhun,

To generate Cordova Container for WIndows 8.1 tab, we need windows 8.1 OS machine with Visual Studio 2012 installed.

Also in case any pre-requisites are there, please let us know.

Hi Midhun,

The Kapsel plugins are available only for iOS and Android platforms, is there any API available for Windows 8.1 platforms.

Hi Midhun,

Is there any other way around, or can SAP suggest something on this?

Hi Saket,

If the plugin is not available the only option is to create your own plugin. I don't know how much is the effort for that.
