Add print by share option

Open plokko opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

A very usefull addition to the android App would be adding a share option for text and images: when you are in your favourite App, ex. Google Photo to print your photos or Google Keep to print your to-do list you could directly print what you want by sharing the image or text to the Cat-Printer App.

This should be really simple to do (by just adding intent filters and handling the image/text as it was user input) but i'm not really used to Python or p4a.

Great idea 😆 Developing for Android requires a good dev environment. I’ve searched around for some tutorials, and may try it days later. Anyway it should be really possible, by either Python/p4a or some Java code.

I already found examples of implementations and it should be doable with few line of Python/P4A; you should find few examples on the web like this.

Anyway thank you for your GREAT app: i bought the printer as a gift but it's App was unusable; i was already trying to reverse enginner the BLE communication or try ESC/POS commands with no avail.
