Android: How to print an HTML page directly on Samsung Mobile Print

Question

I'm developing an Android application and I want to print an HTML page via the Samsung Mobile Print app. What are the intent parameters that I need to do this i.e.

• package name

• MIME type

• Action type (ACTION_SEND, ACTION_VIEW e.t.c)

• any other parameters that are required.

Is there a way I can find out these parameters? I managed to find out the package name using adb shell but when I tried to pass the HTML page as a bundle, it throw an ActivityNotFoundException (No Activity found to handle ACTION_SEND).

I know there are other options for printing such as PrinterShare Pro and Gooble Cloud Print but I'm developing this application for a client and so I have to communicate with the Samsung Mobile Print app.

Thanks for your help.

I contacted the developers of the Samsung Mobile Print app and they provided the following code:

Intent intent = new Intent("com.sec.print.mobileprint.action.PRINT");
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.samsung.com");
intent.putExtra("com.sec.print.mobileprint.extra.CONTENT", uri );
intent.putExtra("com.sec.print.mobileprint.extra.CONTENT_TYPE", "WEBPAGE");
intent.putExtra("com.sec.print.mobileprint.extra.OPTION_TYPE", "DOCUMENT_PRINT");
intent.putExtra("com.sec.print.mobileprint.extra.JOB_NAME", "Untitled");
startActivity(intent);
