print text and image from react native

react_native_bluetooth_printer (Android, iOS = future)

{

• Android project
• Turn on bluetooth
• Connect paired devices
• Scan for available devices
• Capture component using react-native-view-shot
• Moving file using react-native-fs
• Print Text and Image

}

I'm sorry this is not a react-native package. You have to copy some files and modified or add some line to native project.

Android project

const androidApp = android/app/src/main/java/com/native-module;
const resources = android/app/src/main/res;

FILE TO BE ADDED:

• androidApp/bluetooth_printer/ (3 files)
  • BluetoothService.java
  • DeviceListActivity.java
  • PrintPicture.java
• androidApp/Constants.java (I use Khmer language)
• androidApp/PrinterManager.java
• androidApp/PrinterPackage.java
• resources/values/* (3 files)
• resources/layout/ (2 files)
  • device_list.xml
  • device_name.xml
• resources/anim/* (2 files)

FILE TO BE MODIFIED:

• AndroidManifest.xml

  • permissions

  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />
  

  • device list activity

  <application ...>
  <activity
          android:name=".bluetooth_printer.DeviceListActivity"
          android:theme="@style/DeviceListTheme" />
  </application>
  

• MainApplication.java

  @Override
        protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
            return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
                    new MainReactPackage(),
                    ...
                    new PrinterPackage()

        }
