Question

I am working through this tutorial https://developers.google.com/cloud-print/docs/android for google cloud print. I am trying to add a print functionality to my application. However I have NO IDEA what docUri stands for/means/definition. I am trying to print the file “/sdcard/StudentLatePass.txt”

This is what I have so far,

public void onClick(View v) {
            //Print using Google Cloud Print
            Intent printIntent = new Intent(StudentActivity.this, PrintDialogActivity.class);
                printIntent.setDataAndType(docUri, "text/plain");
                printIntent.putExtra("title", "Student Late Pass");
                startActivity(printIntent);

            }// onClick
    });// btnPrintSDFile

Answer 1

docUri – URI of the document to be printed.

What is a URI? A uniform resource identifier (URI) is a string of characters used to identify a name or a resource (Wiki URI).

I think that you can set it using:

printIntent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File("/sdcard/StudentLatePass.txt")), "text/plain");
