Question

As I am developing an android app, I came across the need of launching the PrinterShare app installed on my android phone. I want that when user hits the Button control in my app, it should launch the PrinterShare app. When user is done with the document which he/she needs to print, then it should come back to home application, from when it was launched.

Any idea, code snippet would be appreciated.
Thanks.. 🙂

Lately but fortunately I got the answer.
Here it is:

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setPackage("com.dynamixsoftware.printershare");
i.setDataAndType(printFileUri,"text/plain");
startActivity(i);

where ‘printFileUri’ is as follows:

static final Uri printFileUri = Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/Calci_print.txt");

If anyone has still another suggestion, its most welcomed.. 🙂
