This is a sample code to quickly integrate the MePOS print feature to your application.
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
- Go to Mepos.io and register as developer. There you will find the latest SDK file for your project.
There are two options:
1 Manual
- Download the .aar
- On your project create a new module (Import AAR Package)
- Go to project structure
- Add a app module dependencies on the library
- On scope select compile
2 Gradle Integration
You can integrate the MePOS connect library using gradle, adding the following configuration to your build.gradle file:
repositories {
maven { url "http://connect.mepos.io/artifactory/libs-release-local" }
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.uniquesecure:meposconnect:1.23:@aar'
}
- Prepare you manifest.xml file (necessary for wifi-printing) and include the following line:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
- Create a BroadcastReceiver for the USB device.
android.hardware.usb.action.USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED
android.hardware.usb.action.USB_DEVICE_DETACHED
1. Create MePOS receipt.
```
public class ReceiptBuilder {
public MePOSReceipt getShortReceipt() {
MePOSReceipt receipt = new MePOSReceipt();
MePOSReceiptTextLine rcpt = new MePOSReceiptTextLine();
rcpt.setText("RECEIPT", MePOS.TEXT_STYLE_BOLD, MePOS.TEXT_SIZE_NORMAL, MePOS.TEXT_POSITION_CENTER);
receipt.addLine(rcpt);
return receipt;
}
}
```
2. In order to control the UI messages during the printing cycle, implement MePOSPrinterCallback on your printing activity and its methods.
@Override
public void onPrinterStarted(MePOSConnectionType mePOSConnectionType, String s) {
// some message
}
@Override
public void onPrinterCompleted(MePOSConnectionType mePOSConnectionType, String s) {
// some message
}
@Override
public void onPrinterError(MePOSException e) {
// some message
}
3. Creating a USB MePOS instance.
```
MePOS mePOS = new MePOS(context, MePOSConnectionType.USB);
```
4. Finally send to the printer the receipt previously created.
```
mePOS.print(receipt);
```
5. For wifi printing create a wifi instance as follows:
MePOS mePOS = new MePOS(context, MePOSConnectionType.WIFI);
mePOS.getConnectionManager().setConnectionIPAddress("192.168.1.64");
The code on this repository is an example from the SDK and for MePOS developers willing to implement it.
